"He sent envoys to the Megarians, calling on them even now to settle matters and not to endanger the totality."1 Meaning to agree with [them], to manage [them].

Greek original · Adler’s text

Τίθεσθαι· ὁ δὲ πρέσβεις ἔστειλε πρὸς τοὺς Μεγαρέας, παρακαλῶν ἔτι καὶ νῦν τίθεσθαι τὰ πράγματα καὶ μὴ κινδυνεύειν τοῖς ὅλοις. ἀντὶ τοῦ συγκατατίθεσθαι, διαπράττεσθαι.
