Headword:
*)wfelei/as
Adler number: omega,269
Translated headword: profits
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning items that are] needs, the seizure of the spoils. "Publius [Scipio] entered the city and gave orders to kill everyone they encountered, with no-one spared, but not to make a start on the profits until he gave the word".[1]
In the Epigrams [it is found] with an iota: "thus you might reap the profit of air".[2] [This is] because of the meter.
