If any Ruthenian ought to pay a debt to guests and to Ruthenians, he will pay the guest before he pays the Ruthenian; but if he have not sufficient to pay the guest, he will be forced into the servitude of the guest together with his wife and children, and if the guest wishes he may take him away, provided, however, that he offer him publicly for redemption before he take him away. But if any one intercede for him he will pay the debt to the guest.
