Concerning Those who are Guilty of Giving Directions to Others for Purposes of Robbery.= Any freeman, or slave, who shall give information concerning anything, in order that it may be stolen, or that the property of any person should be destroyed, or that he may be robbed of his flocks, or beasts of burden; as soon as the guilty party shall have been convicted by competent evidence, he shall receive a hundred lashes, because he gave information by means of which a crime was committed. =ANCIENT LAW.= =XII.

If a slave should commit such an offence, without the knowledge of his master, he shall receive a hundred lashes; and his master shall be liable for the compensation due for his act. If his master should be unwilling to pay the sum required, he shall at once surrender the slave.[42] =ANCIENT LAW.= =XIII.
