Quoted text:

Hammurapi’s laws (numbers 94 and 95) stipulated that merchants who lent grain or money by a small weight but demanded payment by a larger one should have forfeited whatever they had lent.

Hammurapi’s laws numbers 94–95 were lost according to this source. Can you help us figure out how the author was counting or what his source is?
