Aelian, Varia Historia II 7:
It was a law at Thebes, just and at the same time extremely humane [ὀρθῶς ἅμα καὶ φιλανθρώπως], that a Theban could not expose his child or leave it on waste land, condemning it to death. But if the father of the infant was extremely poor, whether the child was male or female, he had to take it immediately after the birth in its clothing to the magistrates. They took it and turned it over to the person who accepted the lowest payment. A contract was made with the latter, an agreement whereby he pledged to foster the child, and retained it as a slave when it grew up, receiving its services as the reward for having reared it.
