If then the Greek word 8ov'Koi\ in its primitive and literal signi- fication means what we understand by the word slave, a person that belongs to another in a certain sense, as a piece of pro- perty or merchandize, as defined by Aristotle and used by all the Greek authors, why did the learned translators of King James' version of the Bible universally render that word by the English word servant, and yet use the term slave in the passage in Revelation ? or to put the question in a different for...m, why does not the word slave occur more frequently in the present English version of the Bible ? This question we have partially promised to attempt to an- swer, and we submit the following as our only conceivable rea- son. The history of the English word slave, and the manner in which it came into legitimate use, furnishes the only expla- nation of the mystery. The legitimate use of this word in the English must be of comparatively modern date. It first ori- ginated with the French in the eighth or ninth century, and was used as a term of reproach to degrade the miserable race of Sclavonian captives in the eyes of their Norman lords.
