Mistress Bea wanted to show her friend mistress Teodora how to punish a slave. She had a slave but she did not know how to enforce discipline in her own home. She asked Teodora to come with her slave and she showed her how it is done. She trampled the slave using her bare feet and advised her of all the things she could use to trample him. She then asked him to try what she had taught him before she taught him other things.
