[294] ἐπήλυθον seems to mean, not ‘came on’ (as we speak of a time coming on), but ‘came round,’ ‘passed by’: cp. “ἐπιπλόμενον ἔτος” (l. 287) and “ἐπέρχομαι”=‘to go round,’ ‘visit,’ obire, as 4. 268 “πολλὴν ἐπελήλυθα γαῖαν, 16. 27 οὐ . . ἀγρὸν ἐπέρχεαι οὐδὲ νομῆας”: “ἐπί” used as in “ἐποίχομαι, ἐπιπωλέομαι”.
