תיאור

Verso: Fragment of a mercantile letter in Judaeo-Arabic, likely related to the India trade. The layout is reminiscent of Abū Zikrī Kohen's letters, though the hand doesn't seem to match. The sender claims that he has been sending 3 or 4 letters to the addressee every single week. Mentions Abū l-Khayr; bales of a commodity that arrived with Abū l-Ḥasan, of which the first sold for 59, but the other seems to have encountered a snag at customs; Alexandria; ʿĪsā the ghulām of al-M[...] who has not yet arrived; and the government and a ship.
