Adler number: epsilon,2709
Translated headword: to make a daring attack on
Vetting Status: low
Translation: With the dative. 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]
Greek Original:Ἐπιτολμῆσαι: δοτικῇ. ἐπιβουλεύσασθαι. καὶ ἀναπείθει ἐπιτολμῆσαι τῷ Λυκίδῃ καὶ τῷ Σωσιβίῳ, ἐπαίρει δὲ ἅτε φορτηγοὺς τοιοῦτος ῥᾷστά τε ἀναπείθει, καὶ νυκτὸς γενομένης ἀκράτου.
Notes:
[1] The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation that follows, is aorist infinitive of the verb
ἐπιτολμάω . For another instance of it with the dative see under
alpha 4218.

Aelian fr.262 Hercher, 260 Domingo-Forasté. Kuster suggested emending
τοιοῦτος to
τοιούτους , which would render the second part as "and he flatters them, being merchants of such a sort..." See also
epsilon 2759.
