Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] began, attempted.¹
Or meaning 'was contemporary with'. "[It was he] who also overlapped with Hecataeus the Milesian, a man born during the Persian Wars and a little before. He lasted until the time of Perdikkas."²
But [the related noun] e)pibolh/ is a term for intent, attack.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπέβαλεν· ἤρξατο, ἐπεχείρησεν. ἢ ἀντὶ τοῦ συνῆν. ὃς καὶ Ἑκαταίῳ τῷ Μιλησίῳ ἐπέβαλε, γεγονότι κατὰ τὰ Περσικὰ καὶ μικρῷ πρός. ἐξέτεινε δὲ μέχρι τῶν Περδίκκου χρόνων. Ἐπιβολὴ δὲ λέγεται ἔννοια, ἐπιχείρησις.

Notes (2)

[1] The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is aorist active, third person singular, of e)piba/llw (epsilon 2226). For this sense of the verb see generally LSJ s.v., II.3.
2For a fuller version of this material (on Hellanicus of Lesbos) see epsilon 739, esp. n.3 there. ↩
3This part of the entry = Lexica Segueriana 228.31; again at epsilon 2238 (and cf. the beginning of epsilon 2239).
