for excepting the slave (and the family is as much a family, and his power as paterfamilias as great, whether there be any slaves in his family or no) he has no legislative power of life and death over any of them, and none too but what a mistress of a family may have as well as he.
Esklaboak izan ezik (eta familiak familia izaten jarraituko du, eta paterfamilias horren botereak handia izaten, esklaborik egon ala ez), familia buruak ez du inoren gaineko bizitza edo heriotza arautzeko botere legegilerik, ez eta bestelako botererik ere familiako buru ere baden emazteak eskubide berarekin burutu ez dezakeenik.
