Translation
[Meaning] not to be in agreement, but, in effect, to diverge and be in dispute.1
"Ptolemy, knowing that his own ancestors had held Coele Syria, prepared to make great disputation in support of these claims; for he hoped that the territory which had previously been lost in an unjust war he might now recover, justly, on the same terms".2
And Aelian [writes]: "for some were wrangling and disputing with the others".3
"So it was no longer a matter of dispute but that this was the man who had died."4
