By definition slaves are not paid for their labour. They were given sustenance. As an indication, the state slaves of Athens were given four obols a day (2/3 of a drachma) for their subsistence, doing comparatively well, as that is about all the rowers in the navy got, and a citizen juror got three obols. A warrior on campaign got 1 drachma, plus another drachma for a servant. A drachma was the standard daily rate for a skilled worker. Some slaves were given a sum of money by their owners to carry on small businesses on their behalf. Same in Rome, where it was called a peculum.
