Translation

[Meaning they] sending out. "Dispatching letters to the tax-collector, they sent the doctor away".¹
And elsewhere: "they sent a considerable part of the bodyguards, adding [them] to the ships".²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπιθέντες· ἀποστείλαντες. οἱ δὲ ἀποπέμπουσι τὸν ἰατρὸν ἐπιθέντες γράμματα πρὸς τὸν τελώνην. καὶ αὖθις· πέμπουσι τῶν σωματοφυλάκων μοῖραν οὐκ ὀλίγην ναυσὶν ἐπιδόντες.

Notes (2)

The headword, presumably extracted from the first quotation given, is aorist active participle (masculine nominative singular) of the verb e)piti/qhmi (cf. epsilon 2693, again with the letter-sending sense).
1Iamblichus, Babyloniaca fr. 45 Habrich. ↩
2Quotation (in which ms T has e)piqe/ntes rather than the e)pido/ntes preferred by Adler despite its lack of connection with the headword) unidentifiable.
