         DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:δουλεύω}[a] ‘to be a slave,’ {D:87.79}) to be under the control of some influence and to serve the interests of such

         Glosses: ['to be a slave to', 'to be controlled by']

         Comments: In a number of languages it may be difficult to translate more or less literally ‘but they serve their own appetites.’ One can, however, often translate this expression in {S:04501601800018} as ‘but they do just what their own desires told them to do’ or ‘they do whatever they desired to do.’
