Pre-capitalist capital meant produced means of production.

Evidence

Before capitalism, capital was easy to define. It took the form of material goods that were produced specifically for the purpose of producing other goods. A steel sword, in this sense, was not capital – since it could produce nothing, except a severed head or a pierced torso. But a steel plough or a fishing rod were typical capital goods or, to rephrase the definition, produced means of production. — Yanis Varoufakis, Technofeudalism, 248
