Same or similar entry, deriving from
Pausanias the Atticist, in other lexica: see the references at
Photius kappa758 Theodoridis. These are four excellent examples of "serfs" (
klaro/tai or
klarw=tai: literally men working a plot of land, Doric
kla=ros, Attic-Ionic
klh=ros), but the initial gloss goes astray. The defining characteristic of groups like these, which differentiated them from chattel-slaves, was that their residence in
Herakleia etc. predated that of those who became their masters. See generally e.g. Y. Garlan,
Slavery in Ancient Greece (Ithaca NY & London 1988) chapter 2.
