And if his market slackens or his craft stagnates, he persists in seeking reduction from the origin of the rent, and deduction from what he obtained of the rent [1].

Then he does not leave a plated coin [4], nor a coin coated with black, nor a counterfeit, nor a base dinar [5], except he slipped it in it and concealed it on it [6], and he contrived with every trick, and he facilitated for himself with every cause.
