Translation: Odysseus, in the departing voyage [sc. from
Troy], sailed into
Maroneia, and when he could not reach an agreement regarding disembarkation from the ships, fought it out with them in a battle and seized all their riches. In that place, since Hekabe was cursing the army and inciting disturbances, he killed her with volleys of stones and hid her next to the sea, calling the place 'Bitch's gravestone'.

Notes:
cf. hypothesis to
Homer,
Odyssey Book 1;
Stephanus of
Byzantium 394.11 (defining it as 'a place in Libya' but noting that 'there is another location'); and again
kappa 2723 (q.v.). In the present entry the mention of (sc. Thracian)
Maroneia (
mu 222) adds an extra complication.
For Hekabe/Hecuba see generally
epsilon 337 and OCD(4) s.v. Hecuba.
