Translation
of Ilion, an epic poet; one of those before Homer, some think, and the first to have written the Iliad, while the Trojan War was still in progress. He was a pupil of Palamedes1 and he wrote in the Doric letters which had been invented by Palamedes. He also wrote [a poem about] Dardanos' war against the Paphlagonians, [and it is said] that Homer took the entire subject of his poetry from this man and put it into his own books.

Κόριννος, Ἰλιεύς, ἐποποιὸς τῶν πρὸ Ὁμήρου, ὥς τισιν ἔδοξε· καὶ πρῶτος γράψας τὴν Ἰλιάδα, ἔτι τῶν Τρωϊκῶν συνισταμένων. ἦν δὲ Παλαμήδους μαθητὴς καὶ ἔγραψε τοῖς ὑπὸ Παλαμήδους εὑρεθεῖσι Δωρικοῖς γράμμασιν. ἔγραψε δὲ καὶ τὸν Δαρδάνου πρὸς Παφλαγόνας πόλεμον, ὡς ἐκ τούτου λαβεῖν καὶ τῆς ποιήσεως πᾶσαν ὑπόθεσιν Ὅμηρον καὶ ἐντάξαι τοῖς αὑτοῦ βιβλίοις.
