         DefinitionShort: to bring about a mutually accepted agreement between two or more parties, with the probable additional component of making something certain

         Glosses: ['to bring about an agreement', 'to cause an agreement']

         Comments: Since one who was a {L:μεσίτης} ({D:31.22}) often acted as one who provided the surety or guarantee of an agreement or arrangement, there is a significant component of certainty involved in μεσιτεύω. Hence, one may understand this as implying not only the agreement but the guarantee of its validity.
