Meyer at the passage In earlier Greek γνωρίζω signifies either ’to gain a knowledge of,’ or ’to have thorough knowledge of.’ Its later (and N. T.) causative force seems to be found only in Aeschylus Prom. 487; cf. Schmidt vol. i., p. 287; Lightfoot on Philippians, the passage cited Compare: ἀναγνωρίζω, διαγνωρίζω).
