תיאור

Beginning of a letter by Yeḥezqel b. Shemuel to the cantor and teacher ʿAbd al-Bāqī Sheʾerit, informing him that he had sent him 20 dirhams for his children with the wife of Zayn al-Tujjār, ten of which had been donated by Sitt Ṭāwūs. The sender himself owes 4 dinars and is struggling to pay it. On verso there is a remnant of another letter in Hebrew and Judaeo-Arabic, in a different hand, asking for help paying the capitation tax. This could be the letter from ʿAbd al-Bāqī to which Yeḥezqel is responding. (Information in part from Goitein's index cards.) Same sender as Yevr. III B 669.
