Translation: [Used] with a dative. [Meaning] to plot against.[1] "And he persuades them to make a daring attack on Lykides and Sosibios, and, such as he is, and they being merchants, flatters them and easily persuades them, even though it was the dead of night."[2]

Notes:
[1] The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is aorist active infinitive of the compound verb
e)pitolma/w. For another instance of it with the dative see under
alpha 4218.

Aelian fr. 262 Hercher, 260 Domingo-Forasté. (See also under
epsilon 2759.) Kuster suggested emending the nominative singular
toiou=tos to the accusative plural
toiou/tous, which would render the second part as "and he flatters them, being merchants of such a sort.". Adler did not follow this, but did adopt Bernhardy's expansion of the second name given, transmitted (and printed by Hercher) as Sos.
