From the Egyptians, the freedmen to their ancestors, but the Heracleid was threatened by him to take silver and to write a handwritten document concerning not having any matter against him, and when the handwritten document was read, Loupos, having deliberated with his friends, thus decided: In the laws of the Egyptians, there is nothing concerning the authority of those who have freed them, following the civil laws. I command Damarios to Heracleid according to the law. And he said to Damarios: I also add that if he should blame you, I will command you to be beaten with wood.

"...among the Egyptians... [regarding freedmen] and their patrons, and that Herakleides had received money from him and had written a document stating that he would have no further claim against him. After Lupus had read the document and consulted with his friends, he declared as follows: 'In the laws of the Egyptians there is nothing concerning the authority of those who have freed slaves... Therefore, according to the civil laws, I order Damarion to [comply with] Herakleides, his patron, according to the law.' And he said to Damarion: '...and I further add that if he complains about you, I will order you to be beaten.'"
