is more than one third; and tothe youngest .,
which is more than one ninth.-E. s. K.
The cadI placed his own horse with the sew
enteen, making eighteen in all. The eldest
son then took nine, which was one half; the
second took six, which was one third; the
took two which was one ninth, of
the eighteen. Thus the horses are divided,
and the cadl may take back his own horse.
