Notes:
23 lines. Among the merchants mentioned are someone named Madmun, perhaps to be identified with the representative of merchants and Nagid of Yemen, Madmun ibn Hasan (d. 1151); Abu Said ibn al-Damiyati; Abu Zikri, perhaps the representative of the merchants in Fustat during the first half of the twelfth century with the same name; and the writer's brother, Isaac (= the well-attested India trader Isaac ben Makhluf). Allush appears again in a court record dated 1132 as having bought a house in his brother\'s name [Bodl. MS Heb b.11 (Cat 2874, no. 20) fol. 21)]. The letter also mentions travel to the Maghrib and Aden, and shipments of pepper. Page meant to be turned vertically.
