δουλεία (Tdf. δουλια (see Iota)), δουλείας, ἡ, (δουλεύω); slavery, bondage, the condition of a slave: τῆς φθορᾶς, the bondage which consists in decay (Winers Grammar, § 59, 8 a., cf. Buttmann, 78 (68)), equivalent to the law, the necessity, of perishing, Romans 8:21; used of the slavish sense of fear, devoid alike of buoyancy of spirit and of trust in God, such as is produced by the thought of death, Hebrews 2:15, as well as by the Mosaic law in its votaries, Romans 8:15 (πνεῦμα δουλείας); the Mosaic system is said to cause δουλεία on account of the grievous burdens its precepts impose upon its adherents: Galatians 4:24; Galatians 5:1. (From Pindar down.)

P Ryl II. 153.32 ἕξι ] . . ἐφ᾽ ὃν αὐτὴ περίεστιν χρόνον τὴν τῶν αὐτῶν δούλων δουλί [αν, ";shall retain for so long as she survives the services of the said slaves"; (Edd.). P Grenf II. 75.4 (A.D. 305) ὁμολογῶ τετροφευκέν [αι ] σοι τὸ τέταρτον μέρος τῆς δουλίας, where, according to the editors, ";the sense seems to require that δουλεία should be taken in its abstract meaning, and τὸ τέταρτον μέρος as an indirect accusative."; The document is an acknowledgement by Tapaous, a νεκροτάφη of the city of Month, that she had received payment for food and clothing as one of four nurses in a certain household. In MGr δουλειά is used generally of any work or task, especially of a menial character.
