(since his legacy is thing); there remain two hundred dirhems plus thing. The daughter receives the moiety of this, namely, one hundred dirhems plus half a thing; the other moiety, according to the laws of inheritance, returns to the heirs of the master, being likewise one hundred dirhems and half a thing. Of the three hundred dirhems less thing there remain only one hundred dirhems less thing for the heirs of the master, since two hundred are spent already. After the deduction of these two hundred which are spent, there remain with the heirs two hundred dirhems less half thing, and this is equal to the legacy of the slave taken twice; or the moiety of it, one hundred less one-fourth of thing, is equal to the legacy of the slave, which is thing. Remove from this the one fourth of thing; then you have one hundred dirhems, equal to one thing and one-fourth. One thing is four-fifths of it, namely, eighty dirhems. This is the legacy; and the ransom is two hundred and twenty dirhems. Add the inheritance of the slave, which is three hundred, to two hundred, which (108) are spent by the master. The sum is five hundred dirhems. The master has received the ransom of two hundred and twenty dirhems; and the moiety of the remaining two hundred and eighty, namely, one hundred and forty, is for the daughter. Take these from the inheritance of the slave, which is three hundred; there remain for the heirs one hundred and sixty dirhems, and this is twice as much as the legacy of the slave, which was thing.
