[A chasm in V supplied from W]


[1]let the owner of the steer come into the trev, having a relic with him, and let them make an oath of ignorance, and then let them pay by a cess on each steer (y rif eidon), and if there be a polled steer, the share of two steers is to be paid for it ; and that law is called full payment after full swearing. If it be acknowledged that a particular steer killed the other, let the owner pay. [2]Four legal pence is the worth of the tooth of a steer or the tooth of a working horse. [3]A lamb, while it shall be sucking, is a legal penny in value. When it shall be weaned, it is two legal pence in value until August. From August onwards, it is four legal pence in value. [4]A sheep's teat is two legal pence in value. [5]The teithi of a sheep are of the same amount as its worth. [6]A sheep's tooth and its eye are each of them a legal penny in value. [7]Whoever shall sell sheep, let him be answerable for three diseases, scab and rot and red water ; until they receive their fill three times of the new grass in spring, if after the calends of winter he sells them.
