A grayling net is twelve pence in value. A bow net is four legal pence in value. A coracle is eight legal pence in value. Whoever shall place a net in a river on another person's land without his permission, has a third of the fish for himself, and the owner of the river two-thirds.

Thus come the hires. The hire of the ploughman first, and after that the hire of the share and the coulter. Then the hire of the best ox for the plough. Then the hire of the driver, and then from best to best of the oxen. No one from a taeogtrev is to plough until every one in the trev shall obtain cotillage. If an ox die by overploughing, the owner has an erw and that is called the erw of the black ox.
