Mesopotamia laws 196, 197 and 198

score:16

You are looking at a poor translation: There were three classes of individuals under the law. A mushkenu was a landless freed man who had to accept monetary compensation for corporal injuries done to him. He often owed a type of feudal duty to a landholder or patron.

I look at it as 196~197 speak of as if a slave owner breaks the bone of another mans slave~ that slave would not be able to perform all his duties so you have the right to break the bone of one of his slaves. I look at 198 as a freed man meaning a free man working for some sort of pay, he was able to adjust his work with a broken bone ~ hence pay while he was learning to adjust until he was able to sustain himself again.
