English translation:
Code of Law of 1816
- The Law exists to implement the demands of the State. The State,
now and in the future, is government by the Brothers, who follow the
Brotherhood Faith of the great Yrutiens.
- Therefore the State elucidates the basis of the Law and Morality.
- It is the belief of the Brotherhood Faith, as also of some
philosophers during the Fourth Empire, that there is no god or gods,
and hence no absolute morality.
- Therefore humans should be free to lead their own lives and create
their own destiny.
- However, because of the educational and moral limitations of many
lower-class (literally "graded") people, as well as
all non-Juralics, complete freedom is only granted to Brothers, and
particularly those Brothers who govern the State.
- Therefore, under our new law, everyone may do as he wishes and
believe what he wants, as long as this agrees with and is not
prohibited by the Brotherhood.
- This entails a few changes to the traditional morality and law of
earlier centuries.
- The basis of the Law is that any action is permitted, unless
forbidden by the Brotherhood Faith.
- Brothers are not therefore bound by any law of traditional
morality. If they serve the good and the needs of the State,
torture, murder and robbery of non-Brothers may be committed.
Similarly no Brother should be restricted by traditional sexual
codes of marriage to one person for life.
- Those Atlanteans who are not Brothers may also follow these new
rules, but only with the agreement of the Brothers and the State.
- Non-Atlanteans and especially non-Juralics, as befits their status
of ignorance, must abide by traditional law and morality, and
moreover are at all times at the disposal of Atlanteans.
- No Brother may inflict injury on another Brother, unless ordered
to do so by the Leaders of the State.
The most important part of this decree was thought to be paragraph 8.
This was often written succinctly, and as a summary of the rest of the
law:
Tontettu thanepheth percies dithanepheth Thaothettabbeyu.
(Everything may be committed unless forbidden by the Brotherhood.)
Despite the prohibition on publishing in the modernised language,
this sentence was often written in the Fourth Empire language, for the
benefit of the general population, thus:
Tontettu aithe thanaxa percies dithanaxa bei til Thaothettabban.
