This is what soldiers used to be called.[1] "This was the category of laboring and camp-following fellows, which was outside of any regiment and used to pay no attention to either a tribune or a general, because people didn't know that they made their profit by any means, justly and unjustly. So being unhindered, they would think up every sort of evil, and would make use of any trickery in this direction. They were not up to either making warlike assault or taking it, as they had neither weapons nor trustworthiness. So they were forced to share their machinations with the soldiers, and demonstrate these machinations with them. That way they could receive the soldiers' aid, and use them as accomplices in their profitmaking and murdering. And everyone became greedy, and the whole army was filled up with scheming and cunning."[2] Hence also [sc. arises the term] "gluttony".[3]
