Ὠφελείας
Adler number: omega,269
Translated headword: profits

Translation: 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.
Greek Original:Ὠφελείας: χρείας, τὴν διαρπαγὴν τῶν λαφύρων. ὁ δὲ Πόπλιος εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἐκέλευσε κτείνειν ἅπαντα τὸν παρατυχόντα καὶ μηδενὸς φείδεσθαι μηδὲ πρὸς τὰς ὠφελείας ὁρμᾶν, μέχρις ἂν ἀποδοθῇ τὸ σύνθημα. ἐν δὲ Ἐπιγράμμασι διὰ τοῦ ι: ὧδε νέμοις ἠέρος ὠφελίην. διὰ τὸ μέτρον.
