Letter in Judaeo-Arabic from Yoshiyahu ha-Nasi to a dignitary whom he addresses as "Sar ha-Teʿuda" and "Nagid Ereṣ Yisraʾel ve-Yehuda." Dating: probably 13th century. After a lengthy rhymed and eloquent introduction, he reports that he has accomplished what was asked regarding the copy of the book, and he also asks the Nagid to go to the physician Abū l-ʿIzz and exhort him concerning it: וסוא דלך אן פעל מא רסם בה אלמגלס אלסאמי מן . . . בת נסכה אלכתאב ולא שך אלי אנה וצל לסידנא פאשתהי מן אנעאם סידנא אן יוצי אלחכים אבי אלעז עליה גאיה אלוציה לאן קולת ינפע פי . . . ופי . . . There are some faded sections.
