[Meaning he/she/it] joins together.1
Also [sc. attested is] suneiro/meqa ["we are tied together"], meaning we were joined together.2 "You know that we would be tied together with you in these successes much more than in our occasional reverses."3
And elsewhere: "many encomia on the solitary life were being tied together."4

Greek original · Adler’s text

Συνείρει· συνάπτει. καὶ Συνειρόμεθα, ἀντὶ τοῦ συνηπτόμεθα. ἴστε ὅτι πολὺ πλέον ἂν ὑμῖν ἐν ταῖς εὐτυχίαις συνειρόμεθα τῶν τότε τὰ ἐναντία φορούντων. καὶ αὖθις· ἐγκώμια τοῦ ἐρημικοῦ βίου πολλὰ συνείροντο.

Notes (4)

  1. (Entry lacking, Adler reports, in ms A; and ms F lacks everything from 'You know that...' onwards.)
    The headword is present indicative active, third person singular, of the verb sunei/rw, I tie, string together; see generally LSJ s.v. It is taken to be quoted from its earliest extant occurrence: Demosthenes 18.308 (web address 1); Demosthenes argues that Aeschines strings together useless words.
  2. 1The gloss is the same form as the headword, but from the verb suna/ptw, I join together; see generally LSJ s.v. The lemma is identically glossed in the Synagoge (sigma335) and Photius (Lexicon sigma759 Theodoridis), and very similarly already in Hesychius sigma2486, which adds a second glossing synonym, mignu/ei "mixes". ↩
  3. 2The supplementary lemma -- presumably extracted from the quotation which immediately follows -- is the present indicative middle/passive, first person plural, of the headword verb. ↩
  4. 3Quotation (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) unidentifiable. ↩
  5. 4Quotation again unidentifiable (but probably from a Christian source). ↩
