Headword: *ei(lwti/s

Translated headword: helot-woman, female helot
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] the female slave.
Greek Original:
*ei(lwti/s: h( dou/lh.
Notes:
Like epsiloniota 132 (and epsiloniota 134), this gloss reflects the mistaken view that the Lakedaimonian helots were slaves rather than serfs.
For this feminine form of the word see Plutarch, Agesilaus 3.1 (= Duris FGrH 76 F63); also e.g. listed among ethnics by Herodian, De prosodia catholica 3.1.103.12, and by Stephanus of Byzantium s.v. Helos.
