Dulopolis

Dulopolis or Doulopolis (Ancient Greek: Δουλόπολις or Δόυλων πόλις^[1]) means slaves' city.

Several cities have borne this name:

A city of ancient Crete, which was mentioned by Sosicrates in the first book of his work on Crete,^[2] and was said to have contained a thousand male citizens.^[3] However, modern scholars treat Dulopolis as a false toponym.^[4]
A city in ancient Libya.^[5]
A city of sacred slaves, in which one man is free. Suda does not give any more information regarding this city.^[5]
Dulopolis in Caria.
