[85] The fut. πολεμίξειν is on the whole superior to “πολεμίζειν”, as the fut. is usual after verbs of promising (e.g. 13.366). The present is however quite defensible, see note on 3.28, and the very similar 10.39-40 “ὑπόσχηται τόδε ἔργον . . σκοπιαζέμεν”: in both these instances the infin. is epexegetic of the subst. and therefore less directly dependent on the verb. See also Lendrum in C. R. iv. 100.
