詞語解釋
(Greek, metoikos) Resident foreigners, including freed slaves, in ancient Greece. In Athens they represented one-third of the free population but lacked full citizenship. For a small tax they enjoyed the protection of the law and most of a citizen's duties, including supporting public funds, financing festivals, and serving in the military, but could not marry a citizen or own land. They were found in most states, Sparta being an exception.
