Translation
As if having learned what has happened. [sc. Sophocles means] no place knows me, but in vain I went around; or meaning to have taught, to have led into knowledge of what is being sought. Sophocles [writes]: "and no place understands that I have shared in knowledge."1
Also [sc. attested is the related participle]summaqo/nti ["to/for one who had learned along with, had become used to"], [meaning] to/for one having become accustomed. "And the drink from barley was altogether pleasant for one who had become used to it."2
Also [sc. attested is the related participle]
Greek original · Adler’s text
Συμμαθεῖν· οἷον μεμαθηκότα τὸ γεγονός. οὐδείς με οἶδε τόπος, ἀλλὰ μάτην περιῆλθον· ἢ ἀντὶ τοῦ διδάξαι, εἰς μάθησιν ἀγαγεῖν τοῦ ζητουμένου. Σοφοκλῆς· κοὐδεὶς ἐπίσταταί με συμμαθεῖν τόπος. καὶ Συμμαθόντι, συνεθισθέντι. καὶ πάνυ ἡδὺ ἦν συμμαθόντι τὸ πόμα τὸ ἐκ κριθῶν.
