82 Problem 38

I have gone three times into the hekat-measure, my $1/undefined$ has been added to me, and I return having filled the hekat-''measure. What is it that says this?''

Assume 1. Multiplying by the given expression we have

Get 1 by operating on 3$1/undefined$.

for $1/undefined$ of 22 is 3$1/undefined$,

Therefore the answer is $1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$.

Proof.

for $1/undefined$ of 7 is the expression that we have obtained.

Express the result in ro.

Proof of the result as expressed in ro.

or 1 hekat.

It amounts in grain to $1/undefined$$undefined/11$ hekat1$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$$1/undefined$ro.
