Abstract

This paper reappraises the question of manumitted slaves’ status during the time of paramonē, that is, during the time they were obligated by the manumission agreement to stay with the ex-master or anyone else he/she indicated and perform services as ordered. I argue that the manumitted slaves’ status under paramonē was servile (vis-à-vis their manumittors) and free (vis-à-vis other persons).

Keywords: slavery, freedom, manumission, paramonē, status
