# The surviving fragment file does not found an abolition of slave property in Abdera

Date: 422

## The fact

Abdera's atomist leaves no abolition instrument in the public fragments. [Democritus](/people/democritus)’s documented role is: Silence in fragments is not a unique emancipation statute, and it is not proof he wrote a slave code. The cost is the public file's compatibility with a slave city. Do not invent a unique slave-count series. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Democritus's documented role is: Silence in fragments is not a unique emancipation statute, and it is not proof he wrote a slave code. The cost is the public file's compatibility with a slave city.

## Context

Greek slaveholding cities. Ethics of cheerfulness sit beside that silence. Named others on the file: Unnamed Abderite owners; later excerptors. The public setting is the file around -0422-01-01. Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. The instrument stays The surviving fragment file does not found an abolition of slave property in Abdera. The setting of The surviving fragment file does not found an abolition of slave property in Abdera is the public file around -0422-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [protection-of-minority-rights](/drivers/protection-of-minority-rights) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
