ENA 2727.43
Letter from Abū l-Faraj b. Manṣūr al-Shammāʿ (the candlemaker/seller) to Eliyyahu the Judge. In Judaeo-Arabic. First he deals with a monetary matter of 104 wariq (silver dirhams) involving Bū Saʿd, Bū Saʿīd, and al-Kohen. The sender and others are very distressed (iltahaba fī qulūbihim al-nār) regarding the daughter of Barakāt b. Abū Sahl the crier in the moneychangers' market (al-munādī fī sūq al-ṣarf, the same profession as Bishr b. Yeḥezqel in T-S Ar.30.30). Barakāt begs Eliyyahu (via the sender) to investigate her condition and make sure she is well. On verso the letter returns to some monetary affairs involving Banīn (who is also mentioned on recto), and ends with greetings to Mufaddal b. Abu al-[...] and Abū l-Majd the cantor (=Meir b. Yakhin). AA. ASE.
