Description

Letter addressed to [Eliyyahu the Judge?] Ibn al-Rayyis al-Iskandarānī, in Fustat. In Judaeo-Arabic. Only the upper left corner is preserved. The sender says he or she "does not sleep at night" on account of preoccupation. The rest of the letter is quite obscure; mentions a boat in the last line. On verso there is also a list of names in Arabic script.
