Quoted text:
Libor Matous (“Zu den Ausdrucken fur ‘Zugaben’ in den vorsargonischen Grundstuck-kaufurkunden,” Archiv Orientalni, Vol. 22 [1954], p. 442), cited in Meir Malul (Studies in Mesopotamian Legal Symbolism [Neukirchen-Vluyn: 1988], p. 373), found in the meal and its associated gifts a legally binding ritual, “the first traces of the later Nichtanfechtungs-klausel [non-contestability clause] intended to prevent any future claims from other right holders beside the seller.”
