Notes:
[1] The unglossed primary headword, evidently quoted from somewhere (perhaps
Aristophanes,
Frogs 188), is a present singular imperative of
e)mbai/nw; it is followed by the present infinitive of the same verb. See also
epsilon 940,
epsilon 942,
epsilon 1211.

Polybius fr. 99 Büttner-Wobst; see also

pi 933. Büttner-Wobst notes (528) that Ursinus (Fulvio Orsini, 1529-1600) attributed this fragment to
Polybius. Walbank (751) suggests
Polybius 36.2 (web address 1) as the context for this fragment.
