Translation:
[sc. Meaning] the goods on sale were of great value.[1] Also [sc. attested is the cognate aorist passive infinitive] suntimhqh=nai ["to have been highly valued"].[2] Demosthenes in the [speech] In reply to Dionysodoros says: "for some of them used to send off the goods into Egypt, but others would sail with the merchants, and others, staying here, used to set a high value on what was being despatched".[3]

Notes:
[1] Aorist passive, third person singular [sic: English idiom requires plural], of suntima/w; similarly glossed in other lexica; evidently extracted from Demosthenes 56.8 (web address 1), in a sentence following the one about to be quoted in full.
[2] cf. sigma 1640.
[3] Demosthenes 56.8 (web address 1). The mss text differs from the one given here: it has "from" Egypt, "with the merchandise," and - crucially - the bland "manage" (diete/qento) in the final clause. The aorist passive (as in the headword) occurs later in the passage.
