marriage. When maharlicas had children among slaves, the children & the
mother becomes free, & when one of the maharlicas had children by the slave-
woman of another they became compelled. If he did not do the half-belonging
to the father who supplied the child with food, he showed that he did not
recognize him as his child, which case the latter was a wholly slave. If a free
