Document Text

Letter
Letter from Abun b. Sedaqa to Nahray b. Nissim, addressing tensions with Nahray's cousin, Yisrael b. Nathan, and the burning of ships in Sicily. Abun begins by expressing the deep grief over the death of Sittāt, R. Nathan's wife, leaving behind a two-year-old boy. Due to a government edict that hindered a proper funeral, the mourners considered burying her within the city walls. Ultimately, they managed to bribe officials and took her out at night.
