πραθῆναι
pipráskō
To sell, especially to dispose of property, goods, or persons as merchandise or into servitude. In the New Testament and related literature, πιπράσκω most commonly refers to selling objects or, in some contexts, selling people (including oneself) into slavery or bondage. The verb may also carry the sense of exchanging possession in return for payment, or of being delivered over to another's control, both literally and metaphorically. In extended or figurative sense, to be 'sold under' a condition (e.g., sold under sin) means to fall under complete control of or subjection to that condition.
