[Meaning] they were rousing, they were agitating. "The Cretans, fearing they might suffer punishment of some kind, were inciting the crowd, calling [for them] to safeguard the freedom which had been handed down from long ago."1

Ἀνέσειον· ἐτάραττον, ἀνεκίνουν. οἱ δὲ Κρῆτες, φοβούμενοι μή τι τιμωρίας τύχωσιν, ἀνέσειον τὰ πλήθη παρακαλοῦντες τὴν ἐξ αἰῶνος παραδεδομένην ἐλευθερίαν διαφυλάττειν.
