Translation
[Meaning] to suspect, to fancy.
Aristophanes [writes]: "[you are free] to suppose, girls, [sc. that I love you], but the truth I am not in a position to say".1
And Sophocles [writes]: "I had the idea of going to the temples of the gods, while holding those wreaths in both my hands".2
The serious person should not make suppositions, that is should not agree with a lie.3
