Paroikos

Paroikos
   A peasant dependent on a large landowner (including monasteries, churches, even charitable institutions). The colonus (q.v.) of earlier centuries may provide a link to theparoikos, but this has been impossible to demonstrate. The numbers of paroikoi seem to have increased during the 10th century. In the 11th century their status became hereditary, with the recipient assuming all obligations to the landowner. From Romanos I through Basil II (qq.v.) legislation against the dynatoi (q.v.) attempted to deal with the replacement of independent farmers by the growing number of paroikoi. However, by the 13th century paroikoi on large estates increased so much that they replaced independent village communities almost entirely. Pronoia (q.v.) grants could involve the tax revenues and services of paroikoi.
