When the master has assets equal to the slave's value, and the slave earns an amount equal to his value, the slave, his earnings, and the master's other assets (equal to the slave's value) are divided into four equal parts. Each of the four components receives three-quarters of its share. Thus, three-quarters of the slave is freed, and the slave is entitled to three-quarters of his earnings.
