[Meaning] to think as the Cretans do.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Συγκρητίσαι· τὰ τῶν Κρητῶν φρονῆσαι.

Notes

  1. This gloss equates the headword verb -- an aorist infinitive, evidently quoted from somewhere -- with the likes of lambda 62. But the explanation in Etymologicum Magnum 732.55 seems preferable: it refers to Cretans acting together in the face of an external enemy.
