Translation
[Meaning something] nearer/rather near, recent, which just happened, that which is slightly before and after.1
That which is yesterday's. "He exposed [something] at hand, the fact that [Kleonymos] had been a deserter, using the opportunity to shame the culprit. For it is lapses at hand that do the greater harm."2
And elsewhere: "the road was slippery as the result of blood shed at hand and in great quantity; so, albeit unwillingly, they stopped [pursuing] those who were fleeing."3

Greek original · Adler’s text
Ὑπόγυον· ἐγγύτερον, πρόσφατον, νεωστὶ γινόμενον, τὸ πρὸ ὀλίγου καὶ μετ' ὀλίγον. τὸ ἐχθές. προέθηκεν ὑπόγυον, ῥιψάσπιδος γενομένου, τῷ καιρῷ χρώμενος εἰς αἰσχύνην τοῦ δεδρακότος. μείζονα γὰρ τὰ ὑπόγυα πταίσματα τὴν συμφορὰν ἔχει. καὶ αὖθις· ὀλισθηρὸς δ' ἦν ὁ δρόμος ἐξ αἵματος πεπηγότος ὑπογύου τε καὶ πολλοῦ· ὡς τῶν φευγόντων ἀπελείποντο καὶ ἄκοντες.
