Quoted text:
The earliest deciphered cuneiform records (dating from the Fara period c. 2600 BC in Sumer) reported that land transfers were “concluded by means of a meal, the victuals for which were supplied by the buyer,” and at which one party supplied a garment to the other (Malul[1] 1988: p. 363 discussing Koschaker[2] 1942).
Can someone with access to the Malul and Koschaker texts verify this point, the quotation, and the citation details?
