Slavery was a terrible, terrible thing; no human (or any other sentient being) should ever be treated as property. I'm glad you're doing your research so thoroughly.

I'm afraid I know nothing about the source you're looking for, though it sounds fascinating. If you'd like, though... I'm currently taking a course about slavery in the ancient world, focusing on Greece and Rome. I'd be happy to send you PDFs of some of my reading assignments as provided by the course's website, or even .doc files of some of my lecture notes (I type them because of my lousy handwriting that becomes indecipherable for notes in classes that aren't math or science). I have an entire twenty-some page reading just about slaves in the household, with a huge section about maidservants that I used for my midterm exam, even...

If you'd like any of my readings or notes, just say so in a reply; I think I still have your email address from when you told me about your new account after I freaked out and PMed you on the SuperBat fanfic site after your jen-in-japan account became jij and I couldn't find it. *sheepish*
