Letter from Salmān b. [...] to Zayn b. Abū l-Faḍl. In Judaeo-Arabic. The sender was happy about the recent letter from the addressee, and is very grateful for something the addressee did. Another Salmān recently arrived after a 5-year absence. The sender was saddened to hear about the addressee's fight (probably legal) with his father. He reports that Sittānā has given birth to a boy. Regards to the addressee's father and the father's wife and the addressee's mother. Salmān has returned to the west(?) to his maternal uncle(?); he and Ḥasan and Raḥel send their regards. On recto there is an Arabic-script document dated Ramaḍān 496 AH, which is June/July 1103 CE.
