Primary text

If either debt becomes due, the injuring slave is sold in all cases. If it is the creditor's accelerated debt, he is sold to satisfy it, and the remainder becomes collateral for the other debt. If it is the other accelerated debt, he is sold to satisfy its due amount, and the remainder becomes collateral for the remaining debt.
