Side 100 - Lupos in agrum non accedere, si capti unius pedibus infractis cultroque adacto paulatim sanguis circa finis agri spargatur atque ipse defodiatur in eo loco ex quo coeperit trahi aut si vomerem quo primus sulcus eo anno in agro ductus sit excussum aratro focus larum, quo familia convenit, absumat ; ac lupum nulli animali nociturum in eo agro quam diu id fiat.
