Letter from Avraham Kolon (קולון). Probably addressed to Yosef Ardiʿa (ארדיעה) like his other two letters. Dated: Monday, 17 Ḥeshvan [5318 AM], which is 1557 CE (see A. David's article for explanation of the date). Deals with commercial matters like trade in feathers (ostrich, peacock?). Mentions traders who have Italian names (e.g., Nicoletta) and the ship ʿArīsa that is soon to depart for Venice. Published by Avraham David, Peʿamim 51 (1992), 117–18.
