Translation
[Meaning] decision, deliberation.1
"The Egyptians' opinion was that one of those two should stay there, while the other should visit the neighbouring cities, to determine with which of them they should make peace."2
And elsewhere: "opining that he himself was despised by the enemy".3
Sophocles [writes]: "'tis thine to surmise, mine to feel, too surely". In effect, you are able to perceive these things as a matter of opinion, but I have exact knowledge [through experience].4
