Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] flatters, pretends.1
"He was rather ready for [sc. using] censure. Hence he often collided with many people, not willing to gloss over their wickedness."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ὑποκορίζεται· κολακεύει, ὑποκρίνεται. προχειρότερος ἦν εἰς ἐπιτίμησιν. διὸ καὶ θαμὰ πολλοῖς προσέκρουεν, οὐκ ἀνεχόμενος αὐτῶν τὴν κακίαν ὑποκορίζεσθαι.
