Translation
[Meaning he/she/it] was waging war alongside, was fighting alongside. "At first he was sharing with him the burden of the war; thereafter, having become enamoured of a young woman, he contrived treachery in return for money".1
Greek original · Adler’s text
Συνδιέφερε· συνεκρότει. συνηγωνίζετο. τὰ μὲν πρῶτα συνδιέφερεν αὐτῷ τὸν πόλεμον· ἔπειτα παλλακῆς ἐρασθεὶς συνέθετο προδοσίαν ἐπὶ χρήμασι.

Notes (1)
- The headword is imperfect indicative active, third person singular, of the doubly compound verb
sundiafe/rw . It is not found in related lexica and was presumably extracted from the quoted passage. - 1A quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) from an unidentifiable historical work. (The term
pallakh/ [pi 38] often means a concubine, but probably not here; see LSJ s.v.) ↩
