I, having been raised in the holy places of my father, have not found any appearance at any time, neither from my father nor from another, as the slaves have been established from any lawful title. Therefore, from those who have been declared, Jacob and Sophia, children established are Leah and Rachel and Rebecca. From Leah is born a son, Mark and Sophia; Leah has completed the end of her life with them. And Sophia, the daughter of this Leah, from whom John and Isaac and Jacob and others are born, draws this one with her children into slavery, they will see when they meet at the step of the Most Excellent. And these things are concerning this. Since therefore from those who have been declared, Jacob and Sophia, as has been stated above, Rachel and Rebecca and Leah have come to be, and Rachel has led a solitary life. Leah bears Sophia, and Rebecca bears Eulogia and Martha. Eulogia has also completed the ascetic life and she herself is left in my house living. And in order that at no time, under any circumstance, as is likely, those who are succeeding my things, may not harm my most learned heir, for a very long time of these things, may guard the divine of the household enjoying, in order that therefore they may not disturb as slaves happen to be; for this reason I have come to the present written acknowledgment, through which I mean that I know her and I know precisely that she is not at all a slave nor has been born from a slave, according to the manner in which I have narrated beforehand; if, however, as is likely, someone should attempt to disturb her after these things, from this written acknowledgment, which I have prepared to agree with the most learned one along with my heir, through which I urge her from here already to act on behalf of the free, and to do what is necessary. For I have heard her at the present time speaking and being asked about some capital belonging to her as: I have not been established free. And for this reason, fearing the judgment of God, and having understood the philanthropy of the Savior, I have sighed, and I have come to the present written acknowledgment, through which I have urged her to know that she is free. If, however, as is likely, someone should attempt to say that she is a slave, let it be known through this present written acknowledgment that she is free henceforth, not being disturbed by anyone nor being thought to be able to say that she is a slave, but let it be as it has been previously declared free, no one being able to harm the freedom given to her from above.
