Translation

[Meaning] to be in danger.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Καταποντωθῆναι· κινδυνεῦσαι.

Betacode

*katapontwqh=nai: kinduneu=sai.

Notes

Same entry in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon. The headword, aorist passive infinitive of this verb, is therefore highly likely to be quoted from Plato, Gorgias 511E (on good steersmanship preventing this: see web address 1).
