Notes

• The writer leaves the right third of recto blank for the postscript, of which he used for 8 diagonal lines in the opposite direction. On the left edge he cramps exceeding words in a downward diagonal slant; The identifying details are probably in the missing upper end of the letter. The writer signs at the end עבדו הצעיר עובדיה, he is asking for financial assistance. He states that he as written a request to R. Samuel "the Judge" (perhaps Samuel ben Sa'adia ha-Levi, who served in Maimonides'court in Fustat, and appears in documents ranging between 1165-1203).
