《汉书·传·匈奴传上》
他们的法律是 拔刀伤人伤口到一尺的要处死，犯偷盗罪的要把他的全家人财产没收入官；如果犯罪了，罪小的要轧碎他的骨节，罪大的要处死。
其法，拔刃尺者死，坐盗者没入其家；有罪，小者轧，大者死。
Their laws are: if you stab someone and the wound is more than a foot long, you will be executed; if you steal, then all of the property of your family will be confiscated by the government; if you commit a lesser crime, then you will have some of your bones broken; and if you commit a major crime, you will be executed.
