Prof. Eiselen explains that qua is about
two quarts a mana 900 grams, and a pi sew
enty-two quarts. Fifteen manas of goods
he thought meant material for clothes for the
divorced wife and her The alimony
this Babylonian wife received was food and
clothing only, and contained not one shekel
of 81 coin of the realm"
More information on the subject of alimony
is to be had from this marriage contract, which
says: Rinum, son of Shamkhatum. has
taken as wife and spouse Bashtum, the
daughter of Uzibitum. Her bridal present
shall be - shekels of money. When she re-
ceives it she shall be free If Bashtum 70
Rinum her husband shall say, Thou art not
my husband they shall strangle her and cast
her into the river If Rinum to Bashtum his
wife shall say, Thou art not my WIFE he
shall pay ten shekels of money as her alimony.'
They swore by Shamash, Marduk their king,
Sbamshu-luna and Sppar.
i: !:
Her Alimony Lump Sum Of $500.
The alimony provided in this case is really
money, but it is no improvement that set
tied by Marduk upon the unfortunate Ramua.
Prof Eiseen says that the shekel referred to
in this marriage contract was worth about 62
cents of our money. So the alimony which
Rinum agrees to give his wife in case he di-
yorces her amounts to only S6.20.
Prof. Eiselen says such a lump sum of
money, so utterly absurd to the modern
woman was common in Babylon.
