Description

Letter from Avraham b. Ḥabīb to Abū l-Riḍā b. Abū l-Surūr. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: 11th–13th century. Concerning business matters. The sender reports that Faraḥ, the brother of Hārūn b. Rajā, arrived and reported that his brother Hārūn sold "the stone (al-ḥajar) which we had sent with him." He gives further details about the taxes and duties (maks al-maqāṭiʿ... al-amānāt...). The addressee is to pay the sum it sold for (8 dinars) to Abū Zikrī. Also, only the price fixed by Abū Zikrī (the wakīl) should be paid, as Abū l-Riḍā was only the representative of the seller, but not the proprietor of "the stone." Greetings to Abū l-Wafāʾ Tamīm. (Information in part from CUDL and Goitein's index card.)
