"Pahlavi Texts, Part Iii (sbe24)\", E.W. West, tr. [1885],

Chapter Xcvii.

1.
The ninety-seventh subject is this, that it is expedient for 1 those of the good religion, that they converse, according to their own ability, "in" the presence of officiating priests, high-priests, "spiritual" chiefs, and priests, and hearken cordially to whatever they say. 2. And they "should" understand "their" statements, and, during them, they "should" not utter any reply "or" question (sl).

3.
For in the commentary of the Avesta it says, "as to" every one who brings altercation (hu"g"g"at) into any statement of the elders of the religion, '"one" breaks out his tongue, or he goes out from this world abortively (muba"t"t"al).'
