ABSTRACT
BLOODMONEY-SINAI 51 (corresponding to a Shire or a Clydesdale) to the very light trotting camel found in Sinai. For the purposes of payments in Arab Law camels in Sinai are divided into the following classes or grades:
Whenever "camels" are referred to in Arab Law, one or other of these classes or grades is implied. Class 1 is only given in bloodmoney and serious cases, so "three camels" in the ordinary course of events would mean one each of Classes 2, 3 and 4; "five camels" one each of Classes 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, and so on.
