Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] overcame in contest, defeated in war.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κατεπάλαισε· κατηγωνίσατο, κατεπολέμησε.

Betacode

*katepa/laise: kathgwni/sato, katepole/mhse.

Notes

The headword is aorist active of katapalai/w, third person singular. Entry follows a scholion on Aristophanes, Acharnians 710, where the headword occurs (web address 1). The subject of the verb there is Pericles' opponent, the by-now elderly Thucydides Melesiou (OCD(4) s.v. Thucydides(1)), probably the grandfather of the historian theta 414; he appears in other wrestling metaphors elsewhere, e.g. Plutarch, Pericles 8.
cf. generally kappa 689, kappa 690.
