Verso
-
He has had the audacity to injure the slave's wife with his teeth in front of people without any cause.
-
The slave is a man of property and is a devout and learned man,
-
yet he (has be obliged to) leave all the property that he possesses and (has suffered) other
-
wrongs and mistreatment. He places his trust in the protection of the presence of the master and his justice.
-
The slave requests the examination of his case (and) the issuing of a command to investigate
-
the affair of the slave to establish how the youth is encroaching upon the rights
-
of the slave. When he has had proof of the harm and the impudence of the youth,
-
which he has unjustly inflicted on the slave, let the master requite him with the justice he deserves,
-
and the master will be graciously offered a pious personal prayer by the slave at
-
the end of each statutory prayer. Peace.
