ἔμπης
Σκηνὴ πᾶς ὁ βίος καὶ παίγνιον: ἢ μάθε παίζειν, τὴν σπουδὴν μεταθείς, ἢ φέρε τὰς ὀδύνας → All life is a stage and a play: either learn to play laying your gravity aside, or bear with life's pains.

wholly, nevertheless; the former meaning is denied by some scholars, and there are but very few passages to which the latter meaning is not applicable, e. g. Od. 18.354, Od. 19.37; in its common signif. of still, yet, nevertheless, ἔμπης may be placed after the concessive part.
