שאלה משפטית ביהודית-ערבית. מוחזק בספריית קיימברידג'.

Princeton Geniza Project description: The recto and verso of this document are both copies of the same responsum written to Avraham Maimonides. The debtor requests Avraham's intervention to secure sixty dirhems for him and to convince the creditor to change the terms of the loan from twenty to ten dirhems per month. Friedman believes the handwriting "resembles that of Elijah ben Zechariah who served as judge in Alexandria at least from 1204 and in Fustat during the years 1222–36. He was in charge of the poor and the orphans, and many petitions to him have been preserved in the Genizah, including requests that he seek Abraham Maimonides' intervention." (Information and quotation from Friedman, "Responsa of Abraham Maimonides on a Debtor's Travails")
