|txtha=οἰκέτου, ὁ ([[οἰκέω]]), from ([[Aeschylus]] and) [[Herodotus]] [[down]], Latin domesticus, i. e. [[one]] [[who]] lives in the [[same]] [[house]] [[with]] [[another]], [[spoken]] of [[all]] [[who]] are [[under]] the [[authority]] of [[one]] and the [[same]] householder, a [[servant]], [[domestic]]; so in Sept. for עֶבֶד. See [[more]] [[fully]] on the [[word]], Meyer on Romans, the [[passage]] cited ([[where]] he remarks [[that]] [[οἰκέτης]] is a [[more]] restricted [[term]] [[than]] [[δοῦλος]], designating a [[house]]-[[servant]], [[one]] holding closer relations to the [[family]] [[than]] [[other]] slaves; cf. [[διάκονος]] at the [[end]], Schmidt, [[chapter]] 162.)
