Notes:
[1] The headword, evidently quoted from somewhere, is the nominative and accusative plural of the feminine noun e)/fesis (for which see also epsilon 3865, and in another sense epsilon 3866), which appears in the following passage in the accusative singular.
[2] An unplaced grammatical fragment from Polybius' Histories (fr. 161 Büttner-Wobst). It receives no discussion in Walbank's commentary (see bibliography). For a Latin translation, see the 1839 French edition of Polybius, p. 163. Büttner-Wobst notes that Schweighäuser deemed the attribution of this fragment to Polybius to be doubtful (p. 535); he accepts the emendation of Henri Valois kata/stasin "order of battle" instead of the Suda's para/stasin.
