Description

Dated: Tishrei 1445 Seleucid = roughly September 1133 CE. Natan had previously written asking the Aden community for money on behalf of the Palestinian Gaonate but Yaʿaqov reports that because of disagreements with the community in Yemen he is not on good terms with them and has moved away.
