Motzkin, "The Arabic Correspondence of Judge Elijah and his Family" (PhD diss., n.p., 1965), 2.

Your admirer Solomon son of R. Elijah the judge, (may he come to a) g(ood) e(nd).
As time is short I am writing these lines
to my honorable brother, our master and teacher Bera'kho't,
the wise and understanding, the doctor, a choice part of the House of the Exilarch, as a sign
of my great longing for you, and my great desire
to see you. For the days and seasons have separated
us. May God, blessed be He, collect His dispersed ones
for His name's sake. I wrote you four letters,
"and there is no answer for the writings of Persia and Media." Your brother
is like you. For about six months he has not sent
me even one word. You be so kind
and greet him and his household. Your old grandfather,
greet him, too. Do not withhold your letters (from me)
in answer to mine. Greet the dignity
of the precious Turban, our master and teacher, (may his) R(ock) pres(erve him).
the strong hammer, may his glory rise
and his honor increase].

"Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.” Judge me innocent. Peace.

What's in the PGP
