Sifri Zutta

Sifre Zutta (Jewish Palestinian Aramaic: ספרי זוטא) was a Mishnaic Hebrew-language midrash on the Book of Numbers. Medieval authors mention it under the titles Sifre shel Panim Acherim and Vi-Yeshallehu Zutta; and to distinguish from it the Sifre, Isaac ben Moses of Vienna[1] calls the latter Sifre Rabbati.

The Sifre Zutta has not been preserved and was no longer extant by the time of Abraham Lévy-Bacrat (around 1500).[a] However, fragments of the work have been discovered in the Cairo Geniza, and excerpts from it are quoted in the Midrash HaGadol and in Yalkut Shimoni.[2] Compilations have been published.[3][4]
