Also [sc. attested is the headword] lei/as, [meaning] the flocks, the cattle, in Sophocles; hence also lh|sth/s in its proper sense ["plunderer"]. Homer [writes]: "we drove together a lot of booty from out the plain".[2] "For we recently found all the cattle dead and slaughtered".[3]
And again: "they were in control of many spoils, and much plunder".[4]
Also [sc. attested is] lhi+/zw ["I harry"], [meaning] I despoil. And elsewhere Homer [writes]: "for both cattle and goodly sheep are plunderable".[5]
And again: "when the Scythians overran the land of the Romans and took away a lot of plunder, the emperor Valentinian[6] was angered and shouted loudly and he burst because of the cry and died".[7]
