Primary text

If the respondent claims the purchase involved two offers and acceptances, the inquirer must ask how much of the slave was purchased under this structure. If the respondent specifies a fraction—half, a third, less, or more—their statement is accepted along with their oath, whether or not it aligns with the established price.
