Translation into English

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.
