Primary text

If a Magian marries his daughter and has a granddaughter, then marries the younger daughter and has a daughter, and then dies, followed by the death of the elder daughter, he leaves two paternal sisters. One is the mother of his other daughter, and the other is his daughter's daughter. His daughter inherits half, and the remainder is divided between the two sisters.
