Translation

[Meaning] that [which has been gained] from war.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Δορίκτητος πλοῦτος· ὁ ἀπὸ πολέμου.

Betacode

*dori/kthtos plou=tos: o( a)po\ pole/mou.

Notes

In epic and tragedy the headword adjective is often applied to women, and in other genres to land or territory. At the similar entry in Hesychius (delta2212: adjective only) Latte tentatively suggests that the source is Euripides, Hecuba 478: there the chorus of captive Trojan women bemoan their own land as dori/kthtos.
The present headword phrase as a whole (with which cf. generally the one added to delta 1394) is presumably quoted from somewhere, unidentifiable.
