Interpretatio autem horum verborum hc est: non mchaberis, non homicidium facies, non falsum testimonium dices, no puerum violaveris, non fornicaveris . . . non medicamenta mala facies: non occides filium in abortum, nec natum succides. Non concupisces quidquam de re proximi tui. Non perjurabis. Non mal loqueris. Non eris memormalorum factorum. Non eris duplex in consilium dandum, neque bilinguis; tendiculum enim mortis est lingua.
