εἰ πυρὸς αἰθομένου μέσσην ἑκατοντάδα θείης,
παρθένου εὑρήσεις υἱέα καὶ φονέα.

— Paton edition

If you put one hundred in the middle of a burning fire, you will find the son and slayer of a virgin.
*Answer*: Pyrrhus, son of Deidamia, and slayer of Polyxena. If ρ, the sign for 100, is inserted into the middle of the word πυρός (fire), it becomes πυρρός.
