Peccavi, | nam uxori in sinistra parte me posui. Deinde | cum uxori 
mea concubui. After I had done so, I spoke | and said, “O my 
dear! don’t wish to move about this | day and night; just le on 
your back with legs extended.”’ Thus said I || to my wife. | 
Then she obeyed me; and my wife said that she | guessed that I 
was treating her with medicine, that she might have a child. | Pos- 
tea menstrua | uxoris meae destiterunt. Praegnans erat et puellam 
peperit. | Etenim in sinistra parte jacebam dum cum uxore || con- 
cumbebam. Quare infans erat puella. Now 1 | had a child; and I 
believe in the medicine, for my wife never | had had a child for 
eight winters. 1 | gave her the medicine and she was pregnant at 
once and when | we had been married nine winters we || had a 
daughter. | 
The girl was four months old when my wife was pregnant again, | 
and she had another girl. | Now we have been married sixteen 
winters, I and my wife, | and we have four children, all girls. Fight || 
winters we had no children. Now for eight winters we have had | 
children. The only reason why I am sick at heart is that the children 
are all | girls, for there is no boy. [Thus said | T!at!endzid of the 
Seaward-Dwellers.] |
