Notes
- Same or similar entry in other lexica, beginning with Hesychius. The headword is second person singular, aorist indicative active, of the rare compound verb
katafoini/ssw . It must be quoted from somewhere, perhaps from its only extant instance outside lexicography: Cyril of Alexandria, Paschal Letters (PG 77.561.31).
cf. generally phi 799.
