scŏpĕlismos, i, m., also written as Gr. σκοπελισμός, a crime said to be practised in Arabia, where a man places stones in his enemy’s field, as a threat that whoever shall dare cultivate it shall be slain: quae res tantum timorem habet, ut nemo ad eum agrum accedere audeat, crudelitatem timens eorum qui scopelismon fecerunt, Dig. 47, 11, 9.
