[Meaning they] becoming friends, just as polemwqe/ntes ["having been made enemies"] [means they] becoming enemies.¹
Aelian in Varied History [writes]: "certain people having been made friends to [the] Romans for freedom's sake; but then they did not keep the faith which is the bond of friendship."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Φιλωθέντες· φίλοι γενόμενοι, ὥσπερ πολεμωθέντες, πολέμιοι γενόμενοι. Αἰλιανὸς Ποικίλῃ ἱστορίᾳ· ἐπ' ἐλευθερίᾳ τινὲς Ῥωμαίοις φιλωθέντες· εἶτα μέντοι τὴν πίστιν, ἥπερ οὖν δεσμός ἐστι φιλίας, οὐκ ἐτήρησαν.
