An interesting instance of this verb (Galatians 2:4, 2 Corinthians 11:20) occurs in an invocation of iv/v A.D., where the invoker summons the Gnostic deity βαινχωωωχ to subdue all the race of men before him— P Lond 123.4 (= I. p. 120) καθυπόταξον φίμωσον καταδούλωσον πᾶν γένος ἀνθρώπων, cf. .9 καταδούλωσον φίμωσον τὴν ψυχὴν τὸν θυμόν etc. See also Menander Fragm. p. 98 παιδισκάριόν με καταδεδούλωκ᾽ εὐτελές, | ὃν 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 3.3, 4.4 (B.C. 284–3). According to the law of Antiochus, OGIS 383.162 (mid. i/B.C.), no one is allowed—μήτε αὑτῶι καταδουλώσασθαι μήτε εἰς ἕτερον ἀπαλλοτριῶσαι certain ἱεροδούλους and their descendants. The form καταδουλίζω occurs in Syll 836.4 (1st half of iii/B.C.), and in ib. 841.6 (Roman) in a deed of enfranchisement with reference to certain slaves— μὴ καταδουλιξάσθω δὲ αὐτοὺς μηθεὶς μηδὲ καθ᾽ ὁποῖον τρόπον. See also LAE.2 p. 329 f., and for the subst. Michel 1417 A.8 (Delphi–i/A.D.) ἐπὶ καταδουλισμῶι, ";with a view to making [him] a slave.";
