    it is worth while, Cic. Agr. 2, 27, 73:

    captā urbe, operae pretium fore,

    Sall. J. 81, 2;

    so without operae (post-Aug.): Germanico pretium fuit convertere agmen,

    thought it of importance, Tac. A. 1, 57:

    ni pretium foret Pisonis sententias noscere,

    were it not worth while, were it not of importance, id. ib. 2, 35:

    posse eum, si operae pretium faciat, principem popularium esse,

    if he does any thing worth while, any thing of importance, Liv. 25, 30: duos servos ad hostes transfugisse et operae pretium fecisse, have done valuable service, Quadrig. ap. Sen. Ben. 3, 23:

    scriptor minime utilis, cujus libro adtingere nullum pretium operae sit,

    Gell. 12, 2, 1; so,

    operis pretium est,

    Sil. 16, 45.—
    2.
    In a bad sense (i. q. poena), reward, punishment, like the Gr. timê, misthos ( poet.): si malos imitabor, tum pretium pro noxā dabis, Liv. And. ap. Non. 365, 27:

    verbera, compedes, molae... haec pretia sunt ignaviae,

    Plaut. Men. 5, 6, 10:

    ego pretium ob stultitiam fero,

    Ter. And. 3, 5, 4:

    et peccare nefas, aut pretium est mori,

    Hor. C. 3, 24, 24:

    ille crucem pretium sceleris tulit, hic diadema,

    Juv. 13, 105.—Of bribery:

    adduci pretio ad hominem condemnandum,

    Cic. Caecil. 10, 29:

    pretio judicem corrumpere,

    id. ib. 25, 72:

    nec prece, nec pretio a rectā viā deduci,

    Auct. Her. 3, 3, 4.
