8 I will say again that all these are not given awayin marriage to the | 

 son-in-law of the chief, namely, the family history, privileges, and 



10 the names, || and the house, and what is in it. The onty privileges 

 which are given away in marriage are | those obtained in marriage, 

 and the names, and the house obtained in marriage, | and what is 

 in 1 it, and it goes to him who marries the daughter of the owner of 

 what I I talked about; for the privileges given | in marriage are those 

 obtained by marriage; | the privileges, and the house, and what is in 



15 it; and they go to him who marries the princess. || They only con- 

 tinually let go from one to the other what is obtained in marriage, 

 and I a man who has married shows once what he obtains in marriage, 

 when he | gives away the marriage debt paid by his father-in-law; 

 and after he has finislied dancing, | he puts it away and waits for 

 his daughter to have a husband, | and when his daughter has a 



20 husband, then he gives away the dances || which I have named. 

 That is the end of this. | 



This is the reason why it is said that the j^ounger brother often 

 bewitches his elder brother, | that he may die quickly, because the 

 younger brother wishes to take the seat of his elder brother | after 

 he dies. That is the end. |
