CUL Or.1080 J240
Letter Fragment. In Judaeo-Arabic, calligraphically written. Refers to someone's mother; the daughters of Ibn al-ʿArīsḥī; the sender and another man falling sick; and trebuchet stones (גנק/junuq) which were sold to Nissim b. [...] for the astronomical sum of 4,000 dinars. "Junuq" is a very rare word and seems to be the only plausble reading of גנק, but it may not be correct. It is also not clear how much of the paper is torn away from the right side of the letter (probably ~2 words per line), which means the 4,000 dinars may refer to something other than the גנק. (Information in part from Goitein’s index card.)
