δούλιος

A. slavish, servile, in Hom. only δούλιον ἦμαρ the day of slavery, Il. 6.463, al., cf. IG 12.763; ἐσθῆτι δουλίῃ(δουληΐῃ is f. l.) Hdt. 3.14; δ. ζυγόν Id. 7.8.γ/, A. Ag. 953, Th. 471; δ. τροφή S. Aj. 499.

2. of a slave, δ. φρήν a slave's mind, A. Ag. 1084 (lyr.); ἔργον (prob.) PGrenf. 2.78.11 (iv A. D.).—In a few places the Med. Ms. of A. gives δούλειος (Th. 75, 471,793), but the metre freq. requires δούλιος (Pers. 50 (anap.), Ag. 953,1041, al., so in S. Aj. 499), never δούλειος: in E., however, δούλειος is certainly required (v. sub v.). The common form in Att. Prose is δουλικός, and δοῦλος is used as Adj. in same sense.
