[Meaning he/she/it] holds the same opinion.1
Also [sc. attested is] I agree, [meaning] I think the same thing. But properly, 'to agree' [o(morroqei=n] is to row together [a(/ma ... e)re/ssein] and with the same mind. But here 'I agree' is used to mean I work together with. Aristophanes in Birds [writes]: "I agree, I have the same wish."2
