This article makes no sense whatsoever. How could people be punished in 376 for having burned a house in 377??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.0.60.22 (talk) 08:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
I was wondering that too.--Jackyd101 (talk) 09:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
My mistake, it was 367, not 377 (see Richardson p. 135). --TakenakaN (talk) 20:16, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
