reaches the inner cavity. For a rib, and for each of the two collar-bones, one camel1 is due; and for a fracture of the forearm—which is the lower arm that contains the two bones of the ulna and the radius2—as well as a fracture of the upper arm, the thigh, or the shin, provided the break heals straight, two camels are due.

Anything else—whether wounds or broken bones—is determined by discretionary assessment (ḥukūmah). The ḥukūmah is carried out by valuing the injured person as though he were a sound slave with no injury, and then valuing him after the injury has healed; whatever decrease in value is found, the same proportion is paid from the full diyah.3 Thus, if his value when sound is sixty and, because of the injury, his value is fifty,4 one-sixth of the diyah is owed—unless the ḥukūmah concerns a part for which a fixed amount has already been prescribed, in which case the assessment may not reach that fixed share.
