*katisxnoi=: kataleptu/nei. 

Notes

  1. 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 middle katisxno/omai is more common (LSJ s.v.); cf. kappa 1078.
