[Meaning] I will understand.[1]
"So hereafter we will know how to yield to the gods, and we will know how to honor the sons of Atreus. For they are rulers, so they must be obeyed: why not? For even terrible and mighty things yield to authority. Thus the snowy winter storms give way to fruitful summer, and the eternal circle of night understands how to kindle the light for white-horsed day."[2]

Notes:

[1] The headword is future indicative of oi)=da, first person singular. (The quotation given later in the entry has first person plural). Same or similar glossing in other lexica, and see also the scholia on Homer, Iliad 8.532, from where it is quoted. Compare generally epsiloniota 32, epsiloniota 258, epsiloniota 259.
[2] Sophocles, Ajax 666-673 (web address 1), quoted also at epsilon 4028 and nu 441.
