in *Grammar* and *Rhetoric*, a term used to denote a phrase susceptible of two different interpretations. Amphibology arises from the order of the phrase, rather than from the ambiguous meaning of a word. Of this kind was that answer which Pyrrhus received from the oracle: *Aiò te, Ἀσκίδα, Ῥωμαῖοι εἰνεῖρε ποσε*; where the amphibology consists in this, that the words *te* and *Ῥωμαῖοι* may either of them precede, or either of them follow the words *ποσε εἰνεῖρε*, indifferently.
