Against Timarchus
The class of free Athenian citizens, contrasted throughout with slaves regarding legal rights to gymnasia and honorable love of boys.
But the free man was not forbidden to love a boy, and associate with him, and follow after him, nor did the lawgiver think that harm came to the boy thereby, but rather that such a thing was a testimony to his chastity.
It did not go on to add, But the free man shall anoint himself and take exercise;
And in his treatment of the wives of free men he showed such licentiousness as no other man ever did.
Adab al-wazīr
Free men, named in the proverb that makes secrecy a mark of freedom.
the breasts of free men are the graves of secrets.
Magna Carta: A Commentary on the Great Charter of King John
Free men (liberi homines), the class of persons whose rights to person, property, and due process are protected by the central clauses of the Charter.
Nullus liber homo decetero capiatur vel inprisonetur aut disseisiatur de aliquo libero tenemento suo vel libertatibus vel liberis consuetudinibus suis, aut utlagetur, aut exuletur aut aliquo alio modo destruatur, nec super eum ibimus, nec super eum mittemus, nisi per legale judicium parium suorum, vel per legem terre.
Ut liber homo amercietur pro parvo delicto secundum modum delicti, et, pro magno delicto, secundum magnitudinem delicti, salvo continemento suo;
Liber homo non amercietur pro parvo delicto nisi secundum modum ipsius delicti, et pro magno delicto, secundum magnitudinem delicti, salvo contenemento suo;
