The writer desired to obtain something from him only to find that he had already left for Mecca after knowing that the writer was already on his way from Fusṭāṭ. As soon as he returns, the sender will obtain something from him and deliver it to "al-majlis al-sāmī" (حرس الله عز سلطانه). There are marginal notes or probably official endorsements in a different hand which translates as "accepted. the [command] has been fulfilled and the record of the same has been filed in the aforementioned dīwān".

Hebrew, Judaeo-Arabic
Respectful note to Eliyyahu the Raṣuy of both Yeshivot, informing him of the writer's safe arrival, and how the first thing he did was to report to the house of the Nagid Mevorakh b. Saadya. Along with Mevorakh's usual impressive titulature, he is styled "sar ha-sarim" and "deputy of the king of Egypt" (I.e. the vizier al-Afḍal). "Quite likely, at the time of Mevorakh's restoration, al-Afḍal honored him with the high-sounding Arabic title, ra'īs al-ru'asā', held by the Coptic patriarch, and the Jews, taking cognizance of their leaders exalted status in the government, translated it into its Hebrew equivalent, sar ha-sarim."

Agreement to pay a debt, missing the signatures section along the paper tear. Dated Friday 20 Shevat 5405 AM (1645 CE).

[…] Peraḥya conveys his happiness to have learned that the family members of Abū l-Fakhr who had been sick are now recovered (and for this reason opens the letter with Deut. 7:15, "The Lord will ward off from you all sickness"). Peraḥya is supervising the production of kosher cheese and encountering difficulties: "I have already perished from the cheese and have become perplexed as to what I should do." He writes that he would like to travel to Sicily or Damascus {al-Shām}, but since 'the little one' (his cousin and wife, Sitt al-Dār) was grown up and "had no one in the world except God" (that is, her father was dead), he could not do this.

The deed details the terms under which a certain Rafaʾel Kalonymos will settle a loan with Yiṣḥaq Luria Ashkenazi by working in the latter's "bazares/באזאריש" in Alexandria (l.5). As Avraham David notes in his description, "bazares/באזאריש" is most likely a reference to market shops.

5229LetterT-S 10J20.12
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Letter from Ismāʿīl b. Faraḥ, in Alexandria, to his son Faraḥ b. Ismāʿīl, in Būṣīr. In Judaeo-Arabic. […] "do not buy anything if eye-does-not-see" (T-S 13J26.22) or "if my son turns out to be a worthless employee, get rid of him ('make him eye-does-not-see')" (T-S 24.78); cf. also ENA NS 10.19. The second clause in the sentence in this letter could also be wa-anta ʿalā ʿayn mā tarāhu, meaning '[you received word from Nahray about X] without having seen him.' […] This appears to be the only Geniza document known thus far to mention the settlement of Qiman, probably Qiman al-ʿArūs just outside the Fayyūm (it's much less likely to be Qiman Fāris at the northwest of Madīnat al-Fayyūm).

Inferred date
1100–1100 CE
Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Letter from an older Maghribī traveler, in Alexandria, to his cousin, somewhere in the Maghrib. […] He next describes the 1095 siege of Alexandria in which the vizier al-Afḍal deposed Nizār and secured the caliphate for al-Mustaʿlī ("the city was ruined. . . the Sultan conquered the city and caused justice to abound"). […] Otherwise, he will remain alive." Note that "yastanshiq" typically means "inhale" or "snuff" (e.g., water for ritual ablutions) rather than "hiccup."

Shemuel or b. Yehuda) Ibn al-ʿAmmānī, in Alexandria, to Moshe b. Ghulayb (aka Ḥalfon?) […] Yosef of Marseilles as the muqaddam of Alexandria. Ṣadoq's request, however, was accepted. We hear again of the division of the wirāqa between Ṣadoq and Anaṭoli in the year 1216 CE in the document T-S 10J25.3. The letter also mentions at the beginning Abū l-Mufaḍḍal Ibn Nānū.

(Information from CUDL.) See also T-S AS 151.160 (PGPID 38103). Gil summarizes this letter as follows: "It is therefore not surprising that Natan b. […] In this letter, there are also further echoes of the flaring of passions. The letters of ‘the friend’ did not reach him, writes Natan, and he suspects that Shelomo b. […] Yishay is mentioned as ‘head of the communities’ and he is also called ‘faithful of the yeshiva'. This Mevasser visited Ramla and received writings from Natan for his followers.
