Description

Business letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Fragment: bottom half only. The sender reminds the addressee to take care of the quicksilver (זאוק/zāwūq) stored in clay vessels. He is worried that the vessels will break, and it is currently valuable in his location and in demand among the Byzantines.
