Publications about:

After the document was cut, the verso was used by a later hand, on what was now the length of the page, for a poetic eulogy, in Wafir meter of 17 monorhymed verses (in ים-`), in honor of R. Daniel (b. ʻAzariah) Gaon, possibly composed soon after his death in 1062. Published with notes and introduction by Halper, Jewish Quarterly Review, N.S. v. 10 (1920), p. 415-420..
