21	853	Many of the takings of slaves by their own master are, or approximate, rape, incidentally, except, of course, that they not rape in the legal sense, for the slave is rightless and the master possesses all rights to her.

1	147	To be sure, in one sense the names are different, as the free woman has the name in her own right as a legal person and the slave has the name in virtue of her master's right, to put it on her if he pleases, like an ankle ring or collar.
