Codex Enai

The Codex Enai is an early legal code from the Belpecian region.

History
The code stems from around the 1st century, near the decline of the Ershmids in the region. The code was used by the various Emirates around the gulf. After the disappearance of an unifying force, the code was modified by various rulers, spawning many variants. Over the centuries, the various codices would grow apart.

The name 'Codex Enai' comes from a group of researchers under the lead of Zohreh u Kovil (1793-1876) who discovered a set of scrolls in the Niabe region, which was historically part of the Emirate of Enai.

The codex has been discovered in various finds in the region, as well as at a handful of sites along the Eurybian.

The most complete code is from Woinjagowo. In 1963, a underground chamber was uncovered, which had the majority of the code chiselled in a set of large stone pillars. This iteration of the code is estimated to be from the late 2nd century, although some of the prose appears to match samples from the late 1st century, which makes it a fairly accurate source. Beside featuring much of the code in its original untranslated text, it is also notable for being one of the largest and most elaborate sources of pre-Mursian language. About 72% of the Avaric text survived on this, as well as large sections of String-B (formally Kitabsna), an extinct language from the region.

Reconstruction
Accurate reconstruction of the codex as it was fabricated in the 1st century has proven difficult. Eventhough the early samples found are often only short sections or single sentences, the larger picture can be formed using later iterations. A framework can be created by using the better preserved 4th-5th century editions, as modifications often happened in complete sections and not single sentences. The 1963 Woinjagowo find has established consensus among scholars on the sequence of items in the codex.
