Translation

[Used] with an accusative. [Meaning someone] urging, advising.1 The Pisidian [writes]: "overcoming in battles and instructing in battles."2
But kathxw= [sc. is also used] instead of h)xw= ["I sound"], [used] with a genitive. "[It] sounds over the straits." Also, "[it] sounded through the house."3

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κατηχῶν· αἰτιατικῇ. προτρεπόμενος, παραινῶν. Πισίδης· κρατῶν ἐν μάχαις καὶ κατηχῶν ἐν μάχαις. Κατηχῶ δὲ ἀντὶ τοῦ ἠχῶ, γενικῇ. κατηχεῖ τῶν πόρων. καί, κατήχησε τῆς οἰκίας.

Notes (3)

  1. 1Present participle of kathxe/w, masculine nominative singular; presumably extracted from the first quotation given. ↩
  2. 2George of Pisidia, Heraclias 3 fr. 42. The fragment has no context. (Adler [addenda] notes Sternbach's wish to replace the first, unmetrical ma/xais "in battles" with ai)xmai=s "with spears".) ↩
  3. 3Both of these short quotations are unidentifiable. ↩
