Translation:

Of Rhodes;[1] he too was a poet of Old Comedy.[2] He was at odds with Simonides the melic poet[3] and with the Athenian Themistokles, against whom he contrived a rebuke in poetic form.[4] He wrote a comedy whose target was both this same Themistokles and Simonides the melic poet, and other works.

Notes:

Late C6/early C5 BCE. See generally C. Carey in OCD(4) s.v.
See already under sigma 645.
[1] More precisely, of Ialysos, in the north of the island.
[2] The cross-reference (in 'too') is to tau 623 and tau 624. But in fact the classification is incorrect: T. was a lyric and elegiac poet.
[3] Simonides: see generally sigma 439, sigma 440, sigma 441.
[4] Themistokles/Themistocles: see generally theta 124, theta 125, theta 126. For his feud with Timokreon, cf. Plutarch, Themistocles 21.
