Primary text

If the slave who was partially manumitted earns anything, his earnings are divided between the slave himself and the heirs proportionally, based on the extent of his freedom versus his remaining servitude. These earnings are subject to the same legal rulings regarding transactions (*ad-Duur*) as previously discussed.
