Letter from Aharon ha-Kohen b. ʿAmram (ZL), in ʿAkkā, to his son Shemarya b. Aharon, in Fustat. The son should not be content to study with his paternal uncle, but should study instead under Rabbenu. He should avoid evil occupations like drinking wine. The writer also sends condolences to Rabbenu. He hopes that the son will get a post (with the Nagid Mevorakh?). Dating: Late 11th century, because this Aharon signed T-S 28.4, l. 20, with Ṣemaḥ b. Yosef b. Ṣemaḥ (ZL), dated Tammuz 1100 (where he is quoted) and T-S 10J6.14 (which he also wrote). There are a couple very faded lines on verso. (Information in part from Goitein's index card.)
