Contains a fascinating and long-winded tale about contradictory testimonies regarding whether a woman's husband (ʿAbd al-Khāliq) gave her a conditional divorce before he traveled to Egypt; on the strength of this, certain people drew up a get for her and now she's engaged to someone else; the writer is upset about this and wants the addressee to weigh in, partly because the witnesses are contradicting their own past statements/behaviors, and in part because of how it will look to the Rabbanites ('the Qaraites have already become a חרפה וקלסה').

Thus it is perhaps unsurprising that the property at the heart of this court case is initially 'endowed to the Christians' (muwaqaffa li’l-Naṣrāniyya), probably Coptic Christians.... Overall, our document illustrates a fundamental change in status of a property that, over half a century after the disastrous 1321 riots, was still endowed to the Coptic community, if not its oldest church.

Our Yehuda is mentioned en passant in a revealing passage: "This year there arrived in Egypt (diyār miṣr) from a town in Europe (diyār al-[r]ūm) called Narbonne—the town famous for its scholars (ʿulamāʾ) and righteous men (fuḍalāʾ)—a man whose superior in knowledge, piety, and reverence has not arrived from those parts (min tilka al-diyār) since the great rav (al-rav al-kabīr), our master Yehuda Rosh ha-Seder, may his memory be blessed." […] The letter implies, therefore, that he had arrived from a Christian country, possibly Italy (usually termed "the land of al-rūm" in the Geniza), and had, therefore, obtained at least part of his learning within a non- Islamic environment. Quite likely, he had also spent time in an Arabic-speaking Jewish community (Qayrawān?)

, but Goitein suggests that the numbers squeezed in between the lines represent the number of persons in each household (there are about eighty-five households) and that the entries bearing no numbers consist of households with only one person. […] Later in the list we come upon an unusual entry, the "concealed" glassmaker, zajjaj mastur, nestled among a (poorly paid) parchment maker, a mason (another low-paid wage-eamer), and an immigrant woman (a widow, apparently) from Acre who was living in the home of one of the prominent merchants of Fustat, al-Lebdī.

The writer thanks the addressee in the concluding lines quoting two verses of poetry that are commonly quoted to express gratitude - ولو أنني أوتيت كل بلاغة*وأفنيت بحر النطق في النظم والنثر لما كنت بعد القول إلا مقصرا*ومعترفا بالعجز عن واجب الشكر Towards the end of the document, there seems to be an ʿalāma in a thick pen which reads as جدد عهد, probably signifying the renewal of the tenure of someone, and the verses of poetry in gratitude are in response?
