*kataei/nuon: e)ka/lupton.

Same or similar entry in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, and cf. also the scholia to Homer, Iliad 23.135 (on the treatment of Patroclus' corpse), from where the headword is quoted. (Note however that this is the vulgate text. The preferred Aristarchan text has the aorist of this verb katae/nnumi, not the imperfect. See web address 1.)
