John,
I _think_ that I understand what your confusion is . . . ignore this
post, if I am incorrect. You were trying to find the meaning of
FRONOUNTES in Phil 2:2, and BDAG commented on FRONEIN. FRONEIN is the
infinitive form of the word of which FRONOUNTES is a participle. BDAG
uses the infinitive form, when feasible, as a default.
TO hEN FRONEIN is "to be of one mind," while TO hEN FRONOUNTES is
"being of one mind." It is the same word/same phrase, just in a
different grammatical form.
