Upper right fragment: Letter probably from the cantor Yosef b. Yefet ha-Levi Ibn al-Jāzfīnī to Abū Mūsā Hārūn "the ornament of conviviality and the crown of the revelers" (jāmal al-majālis wa-tāj al-qaṣṣāfīn). In Judaeo-Arabic. The sender calls himself "the lamb/suckling of your benefaction" (ghadhiyy inʿām mawlāy) and asks him to immediately come bestow his "benefaction and beauty" on all of his friends (aṣdiqāh wa-awliyāh), for it is indispensable, and they cannot wait to see him. (On the al-Jāzfīnī/al-Ghāzfīnī family of cantors, see Oded Zinger's dissertation, pp. 363–66).
