According to tradition, the *sadas* (shed) is 9 *aratnis* wide and 27 *aratnis* long in the south-north direction; according to some, its length is 18 *aratnis*. This (is to be constructed) by the method of one cord already mentioned. Having stretched the cord by the mark at 15, the western and the eastern corners are to be fixed by 4½ (*aratnis*).
