[122] ἔπιπλα καὶ κειμήλια οὐκέτι ὡς λῃσταὶ νύκτα καὶ σκότος ἐπιτηροῦντες διὰ φόβον ἁλώσεως ἔκλεπτον, ἀλλὰ φανερῶς μεθ’ ἡμέραν ἐξεφόρουν ἐπιδεικνύμενοι τοῖς ἀπαντῶσιν, ὥσπερ οἱ κεκληρονομηκότες ἢ πριάμενοι παρὰ τῶν κυρίων. εἰ δὲ καὶ πλείους συνέθεντο κοινοπραγῆσαι τῶν ἁρπαγῶν, τὴν λείαν ἐν
ἀγορᾷ μέσῃ διενέμοντο, πολλάκις ἐν ὄψεσι τῶν δεσποτῶν, κατακερτομοῦντες καὶ ἐπιχλευάζοντες.

On the Virtues and on the Office of Ambassadors. Adressed to Caius First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 4. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1855.) — 122 focus

[122] And no longer watching for night and darkness, like ordinary robbers out of fear of being detected, they openly plundered them of all their furniture and treasures, carrying them off in broad daylight, and displaying their booty to every one whom they met, as if they had inherited it or fairly purchased it from the owners. And if a multitude joined together to share any particular piece of plunder, they divided it in the middle of the market-place, reviling it and turning it all into ridicule before the eyes of its real owners.
