  Slavery in Ancient Greece - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Finally, between 317 BCE and 307 BCE, the tyrant Demetrius Phalereus ordered (chronology of Ctesicles, preserved by Athenaeus, VI, 272c) a general census of Attica which arrived at the following figures: 21,000 citizens, 10,000 Metics and 400,000 slaves.
Likewise in 348 BCE the population of Olynthus was reduced to slavery, as was that of Thebes in 335 BCE by Alexander the Great, and that of Mantineia by the Achaean League.
It was the pollution of the shedding of blood that was the evil here; as such the suspect was judged by the Palladion (a court reserved for unintentional homicide cases), rather than the Areopagus, and the maximum punishment was exile, as for involuntary manslaughter.

 The Significance of 70 Years
Even through Jehoiachin was not in office and was not transported to Babylon until the year 597-596 BCE (at the epoch of a 70th year--as cited) it may have been that the author of Ezekiel reckoned the year of Jehoiachin's captivity' as coinciding with the time of the initial Babylonian conquest of Judea.
This means that the occurrence of the nearest 7th year (according to 70-year chronology) could have begun in either the spring of the year 162 BCE (not in autumn of the year 163 BCE) or it could have began in the spring of the year 163 BCE (not the autumn of the year 163).
It is of special significance that the year 37 BCE (the year when King Herod ascended to the throne of Jerusalem) is indicated to have been the year of a conjunction of both cycles--of 70 years and of 49 years.

For one thing, BCE is one of Canada's top two carriers, the other being Telus Corp. (NYSE: TU - message board; Toronto: T), so its fortunes are closely tied to those of the North American telecom market, of which Canadian carriers account for roughly 16 percent.
Sources say the potential regroupings at BCE also reflect an season of reckoning up north, one that will ultimately lead to a bottoming out in carrier spending in Canada next year -- a trend that is bound to tug negatively at the North American carrier equipment market.

 ~*Who Were Buried In Tomb II At Vergina*~
This dryness, means that the bodies had been mostly decomposed at the time of cremation (Bartsiokas 2000, 515) leaning toward Philip III Arrhidaeus and Eurydice as the inhabitants of Tomb II, as after their assasination in 317 BCE, they were buried, exhumed, cremated, and then reburried by Cassander the next year (Bartsiokas 2000, 514).
One of the greaves found in the tomb was shorter, and was used to identify the bones as Philip II, as he had suffered a wound to the leg, which lamed him (Adams 1980, 68).
Susan Rotroff has dated these salt-cellars to the late fourth century BCE, and as they are unused, they naturally point to a later burial (Borza 1991, 35) indicating that the occupants of Tomb II are more likely to be Philip III Arrhidaeus and Eurydice.
