If it has been received, but he does not perceive it as such, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If it has been received, but he is unsure of it, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. If it has been received, and he perceives it as such, there is no offense.

Non-offenses There is no offense: if it is water or tooth cleaners; if, when there is a reason, but there is no attendant, he himself takes the four foul edibles and eats them; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
