Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

καταδουλόω. An interesting instance of this verb (Gal 2*, 2 Cor 1139) occurs in an invocation of iv/v A.D., where the invoker summons the Gnostic deity Bawyxwwwy to subdue all the race of | men before him—P Lond 123! (=I. p. 120) καθυπόταξον φίμωσον καταδούλωσον πᾶν γένος ἀνθρώπων, cf. " καταδούλωσον φίμωσον τὴν ψυχὴν τὸν θυμόν etc. See also Menander Fragm. p. 98 παιδισκάριόν με καταδεδούλωκ᾽ εὐτελές, | bv οὐδεὶς τῶν πολεμίων --οὐ-- πώποτε, ‘a silly little wench has hopelessly entangled me—me, whom no enemy has yet enslaved.” The mid. καταδουλούμενον is similarly used of an hetaera in P Eleph 3°, 4* (B.c. 284-3). According to the law of Antiochus, OG/S 38318? (mid. i/B.C.), no one is allowed—pAre αὑτῶν καταδουλώσασθαι μήτε εἰς ἕτερον ἀπαλλοτριῶσαι certain ἱεροδούλους and their descendants. The form καταδουλίζω occurs in Syi/ 8364 (ist half of iii/B.c.), and in zd. 841° (Roman) in a deed of enfranchisement with reference to certain slaves—pa kataδουλιξάσθω δὲ αὐτοὺς μηθεὶς μηδὲ καθ᾽ ὁποῖον τρόπον. See also LAE p. 329 f., and for the subst. Mechel 1417 A’ (Delphi-i/a.D.) ἐπὶ καταδουλισμῶι, ‘with a view to making [him] a slave.” _ σωθήσονται ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τοῦ καταθέματος. 6 ΄ κατακειμαι
