[Meaning] they were kept in stewardship. "As regards the dates of the palm trees, the sort that are seen among the Greeks were set aside for the slaves. But those set aside for the masters were choice ones."1

Ἀπέκειντο· ἐταμιεύοντο. αἱ δὲ βάλανοι τῶν φοινίκων, οἵας μὲν ἐν τοῖς Ἕλλησίν ἐστιν ἰδεῖν, τοῖς οἰκέταις ἀπέκειντο. αἱ δὲ τοῖς δεσπόταις ἀποκείμεναι ἦσαν ἀπόλεκτοι.
