Cf. ib. iv. 7. 17 (Sharp Epictetus and the NT , p. 71). For the subst. used literally cf.

IX. 1206 .11 (A.D. 335) εἰς δουλαγωγείαν ἄγειν , and the dialect inscription, apparently of Roman times, Syll 841 .14 εἰ δέ τις ἐπιλανβάνοιτο αὐτῶν ἢ καταδουλίζοιτο , ἅ τε γενηθῖσα δουλαγωγία αὐτῶν ἄκυρος καὶ ἀρεμένα ( l. ἀρμένα = ἠρμένη ) ἔστω .
