c10.s1.319

¹ Euthydemus spoke of *admitting* the Sacas, as though through some barrier, Polyb. XI, 34, 5. One of these fortified posts on the Bactrian frontier is mentioned by Arrian, IV, 16, 4 sq.; another on the Sogdian-Massagetae frontier, *ib.* IV, 17, 4. ² Tarn, *SP Stud.* p. 19. ³ The word προσδέξωνται, ‘admit’, in Polyb. XI, 34, 5 proves that this was Euthydemus’ real meaning: he was not, as usually supposed, expressing a general fear of the nomads. ⁴ Strabo XI, 511, τακτοῖς τισι χρόνοις. ⁵ Strabo XI, 516; cf. Pliny VI, 47.
