תיאור

Business letter, or possibly a letter between state officials. In Arabic script. Mentions: al-Shaykh al-ʿAfīf; Tripoli (presumably the Syrian one); that the addressee must not delay; al-Shaykh al-ʿAfīf again; Ṣamṣām al-Dawla; Rashīd; and that the addressee should honor the sender with his errands. Ends with a ḥasbala. Reused on verso for Hebrew literary text in the hand of ʿEli b. Yeḥezqel ha-Kohen of Jerusalem (d. ca. 1055). Needs further examination.
