The text is responding, in the fragment extant, to two arguments that were made by ben Meir against the Babylonians at the time of the calendar controversy: that the Four Gates, a Babylonian algorithm, are inadequate because they do not cover all the days of the week, and that festivals should not be excessively postponed, as the Babylonians did in the years of the contro versy. It also rejects the Palestinian addition of 641 parts to the midday calendar limits.

Primary language
Judaeo-Arabic
Perhaps collectively indicating "Egypt" or, alternatively, "Cairo" the locational term "מציר" (l. 10r, 12r) is also in use, which although it does not reflect common Judeo-Arabic orthography may demonstrate influence of the Ottoman Turkish term "Misir." […] In the margin's final line there is also mention of one S[eñor] Yisrael Silmon [?] "ס יסראל שילמון".

Awkal in Fustat (Gil) or from Ifrīqiya by 'Allush b. Yeshuʿa to Ismaʿil b. Avraham in Egypt (Ben-Sasson). […] The letter mentions the difficulty of transporting goods due to difficult times and praises the business acumen of Yehuda, who sought help from the government (sulṭān) with the transport of goods (ḥattā waffaqa Allahu Yehuda saʾla l-sulṭān fī ḥiml"). Also mentions several shipwrecks and the writer's preoccupation with a barge that hadn't yet reached the port of Alexandria.
