Translation

The [verb that means] I am brought to terms; [used] with a dative.¹ "Come now, first be reconciled with your brother."² But diala/ttw with an accusative [sc. also occurs, in the sense of 'exchange']: "having exchanged their arms with each other."³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Διαλλάττω· τὸ συμβιβάζομαι· δοτικῇ. ὕπαγε, πρῶτον διαλλάγηθι τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου. διαλλάττω δὲ αἰτιατικῇ· διαλλάξαντες τὰ ὅπλα πρὸς ἀλλήλους.

Notes (3)

See also delta 619.
1Although the headword is a verb in the active voice, the verb used to gloss it here, sumbiba/zomai, is middle, and it is indeed the middle and passive voices of the verb in question that are normally construed with a dative. The active form is construed with accusative both in the sense of 'reconcile' (as a transitive verb) and in the sense of 'exchange' (illustrated in the second quotation). See LSJ at web address 1. ↩
2Matthew 5:24 (web address 2). ↩
3Quotation unidentifiable. (Adler suggests Cassius Dio.)
