Primary text

If the slave leaves a daughter, she inherits half a share, and the master has two shares. The estate of ten is divided into five parts: the daughter receives one-fifth, and the master receives four-fifths, which equals two shares. This indicates that two-fifths of the slave's body is determined to have died free.
