Notes Part of a letter from Saʿīd b. Marḥab (active in 12th c. Aden, Yemen), addressed to Abū l-ʿAlā ha-Kohen b. Abū Naṣr. Abū l-ʿAlā’s father is dead, indicated not only by the usual post-mortem blessing after his name (זכ׳׳ל) but also the Hebrew חיי before his name. The letter opens with a Hebrew exordium, before switching to Judaeo-Arabic (mainly preserved now only in the margin). The address is on verso. Blank spaces on both sides contain Arabic script, seemingly practice for the beginnings of letters.
