Description

Verso: Document(s) occupying the verso of one of the small handful of Judaeo-Arabic papyri. Labeled "papyrus III" in the classification of Blau and Hopkins. Dating: Probably 9th century or earlier. Unlikely to have come from the Cairo Geniza; it is possible that most or all of these documents derive from a commercial circle in Ushmūn. There are 5 distinct sections in addition to the address of the letter from recto. It seems that these sections are epistolary experiments, at least in part relating to the complete letter on recto. Some of them may be drafts of a response from the addressee of the letter on recto. (Information from Blau and Hopkins.)
