1249 represents the servant in his activity for the work; not in his relation, either servile, as that of that 1402, or more voluntary, as in the case of 2324, to a person. 1402 opp. to 1249 denotes a bondman, one who sustains a permanent servile relation to another. 2324 is the voluntary performer of services, whether as a freeman or a slave; it is a nobler tenderer word than 1402. 5257 suggests subordination.
