in antiquity, a kind of dealers in slaves. The andrapodocapeli had a particular process for taking off moles and the like disfigurements on the faces of the slaves they kept for sale, by rubbing them with bran. At Athens, several places in the forum were appointed for the sale of slaves. Upon the first day of every month, the merchants called Andrapodocapeli brought them into the market, and exposed them to sale; the crier standing upon a stone erected for that purpose, called the people together.
