Notes:
8 lines. It is possible that the author is referring to the judge Abraham b. Jacob al-Dar`i, who was active in Alexandria around 1100 (see Goitein, Med Soc, I: 53, 407; III: 481; IV: 399; V: 591; see also Cohen, Jewish Self Government, pp. 215 and 241-2). Letters on recto and verso seem unrelated.
