“A slave, Bariki-ilu, was pledged for twenty-eight sheckels to Ahinuri, in the thirty-fifth year of Nebuchadnezzar. In the next year we find him in possession of Piru, his wife, Gaga, and a cousin, Zirra. They sold him for twenty-three sheckels to Nabu-Zer-ukin. He must have fled from his new master, for four years later the same people pledged him. He was not a satisfactory pledge, for next we find that Gaga’s daughter, about to be married, this slave was set down as a part of her marriage portion, and she gave him to her husband and his son, and he remained in their possession, but when his mistress died, he was handed over to the great banker, Itti-Marduk-balatu. During the reign of Nabonidus, the slave, Bariki-ilu, attempted to establish his freedom, by pretending to be the adopted son of Bal-rim-ani, but was made to confess that he had twice run away from his master and had been many days in hiding, so it was adjudged that he must return to servitude.” John’s “Babylonian and Assyrian Laws,” p. 181.
