Translation

This man is the one nicknamed Topknot¹, whom some believe to be the author of the Seventh Philippic [of] Demosthenes.²
Amongst his plays is Philetairoi, according to Athenaeus.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἡγήσιππος· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Ἀρώβυλος ἐπικαλούμενος, οὗ δοκεῖ τις εἶναι ὁ ζʹ Φίλιππος Δημοσθένης ἐπιγραφόμενος. τῶν δραμάτων αὐτοῦ ἐστι Φιλέταιροι, ὡς Ἀθήναιος.

Notes (3)

From Harpokration s.v., garbled throughout, and with a particularly infelicitous extra paragraph: see n.3 below.
1"Krobylos", Harpokration and elsewhere; "Arobylos" (meaningless), Suda. ↩
2That is, [Demosthenes] 7, On Halonnesos. See, on this and on H. generally, OCD(4) p.652, s.v. "Hegesippus(1)". ↩
3Athenaeus, Deipnosophists 7.279D (7.9 Kaibel). The mistake is arguably less egregious than the equivalent one with Hegemon (see eta 53); nevertheless H. the poet of New Comedy is someone else. See generally OCD(4) p.652, s.v. "Hegesippus(2)"; Kassel-Austin, PCG 5.548-551.
