Δούλων πόλις

A proverb;¹ [sc. also a city] in Libya:² Ephorus in [volume] 5 [mentions it].³ Also another [city] of sacred slaves, in which one man is free.⁴ There is also, in Crete, Slave-city [Doulopolis], as Sosicrates [says] in [Book] 1 of his Cretan Matters.⁵ There is also, somewhere in Thrace, Scoundrel-city [Poneropolis], which Philip allegedly founded having gathered there those who had been charged with some sort of knavery: informants, perjured witnesses, advocates and the other scoundrels, some two thousand in all; so [says] Theopompus in [Book] 13 of his Histories of Philip.⁶
