The penalties: if Georgitsa sells illegally a little pig when it is born or she doesn’t properly care for the pregnant mother pig, she will return the money and the pig to the owner with no profit.
side 1: Georgitsa daughterof Nikolaos Giannakopoulos [of Sklavachori] and widow of Athanasios Tzoumis
side 2: Panagiotis G.Zarafonitis farmer (Sklavochori - Goudena)
witnesses: Ilias I.Zografos painter (Sparta) - Eustratios Ilia Dimakos (Soha)
Notes: Panagiotis Zarafonitis is trying to help Georgitsa because she was a widow.
People back then were very poor so they shared in raising and selling animals together. It was a pattern that is still used today.
Georgitsa keeps the pig until itgives birth; then she has to return it. The profit for her is the piglets. Shewill not have to buy pigs because she will have her own. The profit for thelender is that for a short while, the mother pig will not be in his fields.
