Translation: [Meaning] things taken from one's enemies while they are still alive; what [is taken from them] when they are dead is called spoils [skula].

Again at
sigma 707. The distinction -- here and in other lexica (see the references at
Photius lambda121 Theodoridis) -- is attractive but not borne out by usage; see W.K. Pritchett,
The Greek State at War, I (Berkeley & Los Angeles 1971) 53-58.
