text:
c. 1111. Acre. An anonymous writer, who is the head of a family of 10 members, a shohet [ritual slaughterer] and possibly also a cantor, requests Yosef b. Yihye, a Jew from Acre now living in Egypt, to ask the Nagid [Mevorakh b. Seʿadya, the head of Egypt’s Jews] to recommend him to the qahal (community) of Acre. He relates that he has reprimanded the Jewish [purple] shell [mahārin] gatherers from Alexandria for drinking beer in Acre’s taverns, and mentions that the ‘uncircumcised’ [the Latins] do not allow the Jews to practice ritual slaughter. He also mentions also the import of cheese to Acre.
