Recto/verso: recto

Letter from Efrayim b. Nissim, probably from Alexandria, to Nahray b. Nissim, Fustat. Dating: ca. 1050. The writer tried to get money from Abu Mansur (who is Aaron b. Yashar ha-Tustari) but did not succeed. Musa b. Abi al-Hayy gave the writer books to keep them from the mice while he is traveling. The writer mentions a disagreement that he has with “the Alexandroni”, probably Avraham b. Farah. (Information from Gil, Kingdom, Vol. 4, #712) VMR
