   • 1999, Eliezer Papo, La megila de Saray‎^[1], E. Papo, page 44:

     Es klaro ke los Djidios, ke eran bienfazidores i djenerozos, non tuvieron mucho gusto de ver ke un haham suyo biviera komo un perro, tiniendo solamente loke ya komyo - i munka saviendo loke sera su almorzo vinien.

     It is clear that the Jews, who were benevolent and generous, haven’t much pleasure in seeing one of their rabbis living like a dog, having only that which he already ate — and never knowing that which shall be his next square meal.
