(Δούλεια), 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 *ērōs*, *sojourners* 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.
