ENA 4011.8

Letter from the judge Mevorakh b. Natan ha-Kohen, apparently in or near Ashqelon, to ʿAmram b. Yefet (aka Abū l-Ḥasan ʿAmmār b. Ḥusayn), apparently in Shanshā/Shanashā (شنشا), which is in the Nile Delta north of Minyat Ghamr. In Judaeo-Arabic, with some Hebrew and with the address partially in Arabic script. Written in haste on the road. Dated: 1453 Seleucid, which is 1141/42 CE. The lower part of the letter, together with almost all of the substance, is missing. Mevorakh asks the addressee to obtain or send some gold. (Information in part from Goitein's index card.) NB: Golb cites ENA 4011.8 as ENA 4011.7 in "The Topography of the Jews of Medieval Egypt" (p. 139).
