Thanks for reporting what Gollon says, Jared. My last comment got posted
before I saw the update to your post. Your comments partially answered the
questions I raised, namely by narrowing down the possibilities to #3 and
#4. Would you know if Gollon has specified which is correct?

Also, I still have concerns about whether Gollon has accurately reported
on what Murray wrote. Murray wrote a large scholarly text whose focus is
more on history than on clearly laying out the rules to specific games,
and I expect Gollon used Murray as his primary source. So if anyone has
access to what Murray wrote, reporting on it will still be very helpful.
