Προβλῆτας· ἔξω προβεβλημένας ὑπὲρ ἀσφαλείας· οἱ δὲ τὰς πρώτας προβεβλημένας· ὃ καὶ μᾶλλον. Πρόβλημα δὴ καὶ ἡ ἀσφάλεια. πρόβλημα δὲ οὐδὲν ἦν πρὸ τῆς στρατοπεδείας.

pro\ th=s stratopedei/as occurs several time in Polybius and once in Plutarch. For other senses ofpro/blhma , see pi 2340, pi 2341, pi 2342. ↩
