Re: καθωμολογησατο exact meaning (Exodus 21:8-9)
Thank you, Dimi, for your reply.
For both the lexical information and your insights about the realm of slavery, which is indeed relevant.

Re: hoi douloi/hai doulai
I'm sorry Jonathan, thanks for your reply but I need more clarification. (what doe's: "works the same way" reffer to). In short: would it be possible in Greek to use a general word (like the English "slaves") without indicating whether we speak about males or females? of must he ...
