Greek original · Adler’s text

Σινδαρωνεύεσθαι· ἀπὸ τοῦ τοὺς ἄνδρας σίνεσθαι, ὅ ἐστι βλάπτειν.

Betacode

*sindarwneu/esqai: a)po\ tou= tou\s a)/ndras si/nesqai, o(/ e)sti bla/ptein.

Appendix Proverbiorum 4.71, attributing the verb to Pherekrates. (For the equation between si/nesqai and bla/ptein cf. sigma 456.) But Pherecrates fr. 230 Kock = 264 K.-A. is the neuter plural noun sinamwreu/mata, so the present headword is probably (LSJ) a corruption of sinamwreu/esqai.
