Betacode
*katisxnoi=: kataleptu/nei.
Notes
- The headword is third person singular, present indicative active, of
katisxno/w . It is perhaps quoted from its only other attested occurrence, in John Chrysostom (PG 6.560):kai\ leptu/nei kai\ katisxnoi= .
Other lexica have the present infinitive, correspondingly glossed; see the references at Photius kappa478, where Theodorodis regards it as quoted from Cyril of Alexandria.
The middlekatisxno/omai is more common (LSJ s.v.); cf. kappa 1078.
