[meaning] it befits.¹
"It befits Romans indeed to conquer with security, as [men] who would not be making war out of necessity, but to make gains."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Προσήκει· πρέπει. προσήκει γε μὲν Ῥωμαίοις μετὰ ἀσφαλείας τὸ νικᾶν, ὡς ἂν οὐκ ἐξ ἀνάγκης πολεμοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ προσκτωμένοις.

The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given. For this verb cf. pi 2678.
1Likewise Hesychius s.v., and cf. Etymologicum Magnum 690.21 (prosh=kon glossed with to\ pre/pon). ↩
2Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as Josephus, Jewish War 3.210 (here twice omitting kai/ in the first clause: web address 1). See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.LXXXVI. ↩
