תיאור

Recto: Fragment of a mercantile letter in Judaeo-Arabic. Refers to buying good quality musk (אלמ]סך אלטיב) for 'whatever price.' Refers to a qinṭār of something; lac; Abū l-Riḍā; something in exchange for oil and two other things in exchange for gold; silk (ḥarīr) or iron (ḥadīd); and a memorandum (tadhkira); Verso: Fragment of a mercantile letter in Arabic script, probably related to recto. It could be part of the same letter, or the response, or recto is the response to this one. Mentions a market (fī l-sūq) and ambergris (al-ʿanbar). Needs further examination.
