lit., P. γίγνομαι, γίγνεσθαι. Met., Ar. and P. δύναμαι, δύνασθαι.
a demand peremptorily made on one's neighbours before its justice is tested, be it large or small, amounts equally to enslavement: P. τὴν αὐτὴν δύναται δούλωσιν ἥ τε μεγίστη καὶ ἐλαχίστη δικαίωσις… πρὸ δίκης τοῖς πέλας ἐπιτασσομένη (Thuc. 1, 141).
if to yield grudgingly and to yield quickly amount to the same thing: P. εἰ τὸ αὐτὸ δύναται σχολῇ καὶ ταχὺ συμβῆναι (Thuc. 3, 46).
