Text
Admonitions of Ādurbād 13 (Middle Persian):
Leave not your wife, and child, and slave without education/discipline, lest sorrow and heavy pain come upon you, until you repent.

Ahiqar (Arabic Version) 24:
My son, restrain your son from evil, and educate/discipline him before he grows up and rebels against you and humilates you in front of your friends and you bow your head in the streets and assembly places and bear the blame for his evil deeds.
