sold in the markets. The part which
| the offerer Kept was sometimes eaten
at home and sometimes in the court
of the temples The Christian who
bought meat in the market was liable
to get meat which had been dedicated

of his offering and now set II before
his guests. Some with adequate
knowledge had mo- scrupies about it;
