Today in class we continued to talk about Hammarabi's code. Mr. Schick said if we had a good discussion on the code, we could take the test Thursday instead of tomorrow. These were some of the ones I shared and thought were interesting:

• 196. If a man has knocked out the eye of a patrician, his eye shall be knocked out.
  
  
• 197. If he has broken the limb of a patrician, his limb shall be broken.
  
  
• 198. If he has knocked out the eye of a plebeian or has broken the limb of a plebeian, he shall pay one mina of silver.
  
  
• 199. If he has knocked out the eye of a patrician's servant, or broken the limb of a patrician's servant, he shall pay half his value.
  
  
• 200. If a patrician has knocked out the tooth of a man that is his equal, his tooth shall be knocked out.
  
  
• 201. If he has knocked out the tooth of a plebeian, he shall pay one-third of a mina of silver.
