TRANSLATION. 
On separation to each what is due, 
while at one, shave alike: 
Divide earnings, 
relinquish the wife’s separate estate, 
take back effects brought. 
Life and limb belong to the waris, 
loss or gain to the wife. 
Blaze the trees, 
split the post, 
dig a hole for the stone, 
don the shield, 
bend the sling. 
A flaw or a fault the contract will 
bear, fits of madness are beyond 
its scope. 
Six months on land, a year at sea, 
without message or tidings, divorce 
has ripened of itself. 
If the man break the engagement the 
gage is lost, 
If the woman break it the gage must 
be repaid double. 
The family of his wife pays the debt, 
and receives the credit.
