And regarding the palm when it breaks, so it is bandaged upon and there is no fault, so its wergild is a fifth of the wergild of the hand, being one hundred Dinars; and if the palm is disjointed, so its wergild is one-third of the wergild of the hand, being one hundred and sixty-six Dinars and two-thirds of a Dinar; and regarding its exposure is a quarter of the wergild of its breaking, being twenty five Dinars; and a wergild for the displacement of its bones is fifty Dinars, being half the wergild for its breaking; and regarding its piercing, if it not sealed up, is a fifth of the wergild of the hand, being one hundred Dinars. So if it was pierced, its wergild is a quarter of the wergild of its breaking, being twenty-five Dinars. And regarding the wergild of the fingers and the bones which are in the palm, so regarding the thumb when it is cut-off, there is one-third of the wergild of the hand, being one hundred and sixty-six Dinars and two-thirds of a Dinar; and wergild of the bone of the thumb which is in the palm, is bandaged upon and there is no fault, is one-fifth of the wergild of the thumb, being thirty-three Dinars and one- third of the Dinar, when its bones are set and evened, and it is firm; and the wergild of its cracking is twenty-six Dinars and two-thirds of a Dinar; and the wergild for its exposure is eighty Dinars and one-third of a Dinar; and wergild of the displacement of its bone is sixteen Dinar and two-thirds of a Dinar; and wergild for its piercing is eight Dinars and one-third of a Dinar, being half the wergild of the displacement of its bones; And a wergild of its exposure is half the wergild of its displacement, being eight Dinars and one-third of a Dinar; and the wergild of it being disjointed is ten Dinars; and wergild of the second joint from the top of the thumb, if it breaks, so it is bandaged upon and there is no fault, is sixteen Dinars and one-third of a Dinar; and wergild of the exposure, if there was in it, is four Dinars and one-sixth of a Dinar; and wergild of its cracking is thirteen Dinars and one-third of a Dinar; and wergild of the displacement of its bones is five Dinars.
