Bodl. MS heb. d 65/9

Fragment of a letter from the brothers Yosef and Nissim b. Berekhya from Qayrawan (Ifrīqiya) to Yosef b. Ya’aqov b. Awkal, Fustat. Around 1017. Yosef, the older brother, writes the letter. Mentions details about the Nagid, Avraham b. Ata, and his activities for the Yeshivas. The money that was collected in Fustat and Qayrawan from Yamen, Spain, and the Maghreb, is sent to Ibn Awkal in Fustat. A small portion of the money is designated to the Erets Israel Yeshiva but most of the money is designated to the Babylonian Yeshivas. Also mentions a military travel by the governor of Qayrawan, and the Nagid Avraham b. Ata accompanied the governor (probably while he was a doctor). (Information from Gil, Kingdom, Vol. 2, #148) VMR
