Letter from Hillel b. Hārūn, in Tyre, to [... b.] Khālid(?), in Fustat. In Judaeo-Arabic. Dating: Likely 11th century. The sender's cousins, the children of his paternal uncle Mūsā, had to come to him in Tyre in great distress, and the sender dressed them in fancy clothing (shayʾan kāna lī atajammal bih). The cousin traveled onward and has not sent any news (and never returned the clothing). Hillel has heard that he is now doing business in Fustat. Hillel seems to be sheepishly asking for the clothes back, or at least asking for some favor in return. Also mentions the addressee's in-law ʿAllūn al-ʿAṭṭār.
