Notes (2)

cf. generally kappa 931.
1The headword is present participle of kataqrw/skw, either neuter nominative/accusative plural or masculine accusative singular; the latter if, as is highly likely, it is extracted from the quotation given below. ↩
2Herodotus 6.134.2 (web address 1), on Miltiades (mu 1067, mu 1068) injuring himself -- fatally, as it turned out -- during his siege of Paros in 490/89.
