He is paid, he is quit. There will be no claim. They will not return (on this matter), they will not file claims against each other. Whenever in future days somebody among the brothers, sons, or any of the descendants of the house of Rēʾi-alpi will stand up and file a claim about this prebend, induce somebody to file a claim, make a change, or litigate – that claimant will pay 12 times the silver that he received. |
