Description

Letter from Maṣliaḥ Gaon (autograph) to a communal leader or judge Avraham, in Malīj. In Judaeo-Arabic. Wide space between the lines. Dated: Shevaṭ 1442 Seleucid, which is 1131 CE. He has enclosed with this letter a debt contract (sheṭar ḥov). Yaʿaqov ha-Levi b. Shela owes money to Seʿadya b. Avraham; the latter has appointed Ṭāhir al-Ḍāmin b. Mufaḍḍal as his agent. Since the witnesses are in Malīj, the addressee is requested to settle the matter so that Seʿadya does not return again and complain to Maṣliaḥ (חתי לא יעוד מסתגית לשער הישיבה). (Information from Goitein's index card.)
