Polybius fr. 52 Büttner-Wobst. Read (with Hultsch) dative plural
e)fistame/nois for the present nominative plural in the final clause, but even so the passage is hard to construe and may be faulty. Indeed, Büttner-Wobst follows (521) Toup in replacing the Suda's
e)/faske with
e)/pasxe:
A similar experience had happened.... Büttner-Wobst also notes (ibid.) that Hultsch deleted
oi(=on ei)ko\s.
