In the laws relating to women,* the penalties they incur for 
crimes and the Erics or mulcts paid for injuries done to them, are 
divided amongst certain persons of their tribes in established pro- 
portions. 
“ Cis lir ro-suighighide fodla febhe la Fenechas fria bandire ? 
“ co icaither a cinaid ? co berdar a neirce acas a ndithbha ? 
“* How are established the distingions of the rights appertaining 
to women, according to the old law? How are their offences sa- 
tisfied ? How are their Erics and their inheritance distributed ? 
“ Cin cetmhuinter for a mic for a finé is amlaid fria eric acas a 
“ ndibad.” ‘The offences of one of a chief family falls upon her 
sons and upon her tribe; in like manner her Erics and her inhe- 
ritance are distributed.” 
“ Mad cetmhuinter nad ruicce macu confodlaiter a cinside inde etir 
“ a fine acas a cele is amlaid fria etrice acas a dibad.”—“ If she be 
‘« one of a chief family, who has borne no sons, her trespasses are 
‘e equally divided between her tribe and her husband. In like man- 
* ner are distributed her Eric and her inheritance.” 
“ Os ben aittiten ara naisc fine conranaither a cinaidside etir ma- 
“ cu acus a fine is amlaid fria neraic acas a ndibad.’’—If a woman 
“« protected under bond to the tribe, her trespasses are equally di- 
“‘ vided between her sons and the tribe, in like manner her Eric 
« and her inheritance.” 
“ Os ben nad aurnascar nad forngar ar da trian fora fine dia cin 
“ oentrian for a bronnfine, ts amlaid fria ericc acas a ndibad.”—It 
“‘ a protected woman not under bond or control, two thirds of her 
** trespasses fall on her tribe and one third on her bron fine (2. e. the 
“family of her womb, her children): in the same manner her Erie 
“ and her inheritance.”
