If the Rambam goes to the extent of saying that Hammechabbek ‘achat min ha’arayot she’ein libbo shella’adam nokefo ‘aleihen, ‘o shennishak ‘achat –mehen-kegon ‘achoto haggedolah, va’achot ‘immo, vechaiyotze –bahen-‘af ‘al pi she’ein sham ta’avah velo hana’ah kelal, harei zeh megunneh beyoter. vedavar zeh ‘asur hu, uma’aseh tippeshim –hu-she’ein kerevin le’ervah kelal, bein gedolah bein ketannah chutz meha’em livnah, veha’av levitto, how much more would it be distasteful and assur to have negiah with a niece. (Issurei Biah 21:6)
