An epigraph is a short inscription at the beginning of a document or component. LyX only provides the
“Quotation” environment, which is mapped onto the blockquote SGML element, when exported.
For an epigraph as such, there is no provision (as is the case with all SGML tags that do not have a clear correspondence to TeX/LaTeX environments - see Section
5.1 for the notion of an environment in LyX).
However, you can always define an SGML environment and write the necessary SGML tags there. For an epigraph, you would then write for Norm's favourite quote:
<epigraph>
<attribution>William Safire</attribution>
<para>
Knowing how things work is the basis for appreciation, and is
thus a source of civilized delight.
</para>
</epigraph>

See Chapter 7 for how the end result looks like.
