[Meaning he/she/it] was speechmaker for, spoke for. Xenophon [writes]: "envoys came from Sinope to the Greeks, on account of the men of Kotyora. Hekatonymos, considered to be clever with words, was spokesman for [them]".1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Προηγόρει· προηγόρευε, προέλεγε. Ξενοφῶν· ἧκον πρέσβεις ἐκ Σινώπης διὰ τοὺς Κοτυωρίτας εἰς τοὺς Ἕλληνας. προηγόρει δὲ Ἑκατώνυμος, δεινὸς νομιζόμενος εἶναι λέγειν.
