Δουλεία, among the Athenians, a kind of punishment, by which the criminal was reduced into the condition of a slave. It was never inflicted upon any but the *τριάδα*, *σοφορνής* and freed servants.

To **DOUSE**, in sea language, is to lower suddenly, or slacken; and it is applied to a sail in a squall of wind, an extended hawser, &c.
