*kataqu/mion: kata\ yuxh/n, eu)a/reston.

The headword is neuter nominative/accusative singular of the adjective kataqu/mios (cf. kappa 564), as at Homer, Odyssey 22.392 (web address 1). Same glossing in Photius and elsewhere; cf. scholia D on Homer, Iliad 10.383, Hesychius, and the Etymologicum Genuinum.
