The law of Constantine, after having stigmatized as bastards the children of a mean rank who had been married to those of a superior station, confounds women who retail merchandise with slaves, with the mistresses of taverns, with actresses, with the daughters of those who keep public stews, or who had been condemned to fight in the amphitheatre:
Konstantinoren legeak, goi-mailako pertsonekin ezkontzen den jende xehearen haurrak sasiko deklaratu ondoren, salgaien denda duten emakumeak esklaboekin nahasten ditu, taberna-jendearekin, antzokietako emakumeekin, prostituzio-leku bat duen edo harea gainean borrokatzera kondenatutako gizon baten alabekin.
