Chapter 83.

tr. Martin Haug and E. W. West (1872)

1. Then I saw the soul of a woman who ever ate her own dead refuse [nasa]. 2. And I asked thus: 'What sin was committed by this woman?' 3. Srosh the pious, and Adar the angel, said (4) thus: 'This is the soul of that wicked woman who, in the world, ate much meat concealed from her husband, (5) and gave it to another person.'
