Source Text and Drawing
I am the counter to the eighth play that is before me, and of all his scholars. And if I extend my left hand to his elbow, I push it with strength in a way that I can strike across. Also in that turn that I make I could throw the arm to the neck and strike him in whatever way that I can do.
