Abū l-Faraj thought that Eliyyahu would already have intervened on his behalf, but no news of that has reached him. He visited Alexandria, but it seems that Mufaḍḍal discouraged him from seeking a ruling from the judge [A]natoli on account of his strictness. […] Cf. alternate versions of the same idiom in ENA 2558.21, T-S 13J21.20, Moss. II,167, T-S Misc.28.33, and Bodl. […] See also T-S AS 162.167 + T-S AS 151.29 and Oded Zinger's edition in "You and I will enjoy each other's company until God decrees our death in the Land of Israel," Cathedra 174 (2020), note 22.

Primary language
Arabic
Might be a narrative about the miracle of "the splitting of the chest" (shaqq al-ṣadr) intended to be read during Mawlid celebrations—this is based on the recording of the identical text that can be found in a Facebook video (https://fb.watch/ajqp49g5TK/). The text can be found in various places online (e.g. by searching the phrase 'ولما بلغ من العمر عامين توجهت به حليمة الى مكة") but an attribution/source is harder to find.

Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
The writer thanks the addressee for taking care of his son, Amram, while he visited Aleppo. Eliyyahu mentions his satisfaction from his status as a judge in three communities in his town (probably the Iraqis, Shamis, and Qaraites), from his acceptance by several heads of Yeshivas in Iraq and the Exilarch (Rosh ha-Gola), and from his good relationships with the Qaraite community and the town governor. […] He went on to list individuals and institutions who could recommend and praise him, including the exilarch Hezekiah ben David and Rabbi Hāi Gaʾon, the head of the Babylonian Yeshiva of Pumbedita, who had sent him letters, encouraged him, and praised him.
