嘉靖元年參月拾陸日朴榮基上典前明文 右明文爲臥乎事叱段奴矣身亦貧寒所致以還上 積納不得奴矣母邊傳來未今員路上路下兩畓 荒租參斗落只庫乙折木綿柒疋半捧上爲 遣永永放賣爲白去乎鎭長耕作敎矣後次奴 矣同生族類等亦爭望隅有去等此明文內 用良告官辨正爲乎事是亦在 畓主私奴朴今孫 證保依父司直韓玉同 證保班中奴金同 筆執私奴尹 |

Student 1 : (Irina)
In Korean texts Chinese characters are used for units of measurement, but often Korean units are different from Chinese. Is there a reliable source for checking Korean units of quantity, length, and so on?

Student 3 : (Masha)
- Discussion Questions:
- What could be the potential benefits for a private slave to sell land aside from the one he mentioned in the document? What could be his other motivations? What were the benefits to keep the land? Could private slaves purchase land?
- Is it possible that, because of his status, a private slave had no choice but to sell the land to the one of a higher status upon the latter's request?

- Discussion Questions:
- As far as I know, the land belong to the master while the private slave acted as a tenant of the land. This transaction suggests that 1) the land was actually owned by the slave or 2) the slave sold the right to farm in the land to a third party. Which was the case?
- If it is the former then slave had the economic power to purchase and own land. Was there any law to regulate land-ownership of slave or land-ownership in general?
