Description

Recto: End of a letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Refers to a gathering that took place at the home of "Sayyidnā" on Shabbat, where the addressee's name came up. Abū l-Surūr and Abū Yaʿqūb are mentioned, followed by pious blessings. Same handwriting as T-S NS 236.10 + T-S NS J407. On verso there is a list of medical simples, including saffron, sugar, aloe, camphor, honey, and alum (this description might belong with a different fragment; it does not seem to match the handful of mysterious words in Hebrew script that actually appear on verso).
