Nahray, the paternal cousin of Nahray b. Nissim, in Alexandria, to Nahray's son, Abū Saʿd Nissim b. Nahray, in Fustat, after 1096.

The heading on the verso states: "Lo ke fue pagado a Ḥajjī Alīal-Gālād debasho (=debajo) de su kuento". Many of the monetary figures are listed in abū ṭāqas, Austrian thalers, which became a common form of payment in Cairo during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The paleography also matches this dating estimate. MCD.

Primary language
Hebrew
An original scan of the letter and an Arabic translation of it appear in Al-Janiza wa-l-maʿābid al-Yahūdiyya fī Miṣr (pp. 195-199). Ḥasan and Sarrāj's reading of the letter's dating may be incorrect because in the scan the alphanumerical designation is as follows: "ב׳׳ה כ׳׳ד מנא׳׳ תרח׳׳ו - דרבנד קוקז / by [the assistance of God] 24 Men[aḥem] [5]614 - Derbend Caucasus" which would yield an alternative dating of potentially 18 August 1854 CE.

5196LetterT-S 6J5.5
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Concerning the textile trade, mentioning the Syrian cities of Lādhiqiyya (Latakia), Anṭākiyya (Antioch), Maʾarrat al-Nuʿmān, and Aleppo. It specifically mentions letters written to 'the elders of Latakia' and 'the elders of Antioch.' On verso there is an informal note in a different hand, asking to be brought quires containing liturgical poetry (raḥamin) and "the siddur of the Head of the Yeshiva (raʾs al-mathība) belonging to Abū Naṣr." NB: Goitein's index card refers to 6J5.5a ("Ashtor, Braslavi 480"), which is apparently a Mamluk-era fragment of a charity drive record written in Arabic script.
