The second is the hart of a king as to whoever may cut it up. The third is a carcase left by a wolf as to whoever may do wrong with respect to it. [2]Three strong scandals of a woman there are: one is seeing the man and the woman emerging from the same thicket, one from each side of the thicket. The second is seeing them both under the same mantle. The third is seeing the man between the two thighs of the woman. [3]Three things for which a person shall prosecute for theft, though they do not constitute theft : ploughing, and felling of timber, and building. [4]Three sarhads of a woman there are, one of which is augmented, and one diminished, and one is a complete sarhad. When a kiss is given her against her will, a third of her sarhad is wanting to her then. The second is feeling her with the hand, and that is a full sarhad to her. The third is being connected with her against her will, and that is augmented by the third. [5]Three ways whereby one can object to witnesses: by land-feud, and galanas-feud, and woman-feud.
