Polybius fr. 189 Büttner-Wobst. Büttner-Wobst notes (539) that Schweighäuser attributed this fragment to
Polybius. This probably describes a moment in battle, and there is a superficial resemblance to
Polybius 18.53.3 (web address 1), but the fragment remains unplaced.
[2] Quoted approximately from
Polybius 3.94.10 (web address 2); cf.
omicron 199. This passage pertains to events during the Second Punic War (218-201). It highlights the refusal of
magister equitum Marcus Minucius
Rufus (consul 221, d. 216; OCD(4) s.v. Minucius
Rufus (1)) to pursue the war of attrition against Hannibal (OCD(4) s.v. and
alpha 2452) recommended by dictator Quintus Fabius
Maximus Verrucosus,
Cunctator ["the Delayer"], (consul 233, d. 203; OCD(4) s.v.). On the divergent strategies of Marcus and Fabius cf.
