-//Description//:
+//Description//: This legal text, though well preserved, represents an ancient copy of an even older document, which has been copied in order to preserve the information contained in it. Nevertheless, the right half of that document has already been badly damaged or broken away. Therefore the scribe copied what he was able to see and put the remark "new break" (//hipi eshshu//) next to it.
