[1] The headword is accusative case of the noun e)pi/lusis. The best-known instance -- Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes 134: e)pi/lusin fo/bwn, e)pi/lusin di/dou -- means 'release' and so makes a bad fit with this glossing synonym. The gloss would be more appropriate to e)ph/lusin "approach, assault," which is homophonous with e)pi/lusin and also more suitable to the passage quoted. Cf. epsilon 2176, epsilon 2177, and especially epsilon 2178 (the last a fragment of Menander Protector). But e)pi/lusin is required by alphabetical order here in the Suda.
[2] Attributed by Charles Burney (1757-1818) to Menander Protector, and accepted as such by Blockley: his fr. 35.1 (244-245). Blockley notes a possible connection between this fragment and his fr. 35.2 (q.v. delta 1193); cf. Blockley (287, note 329).
