*katepth/xasi: sunesta/lhsan.

The headword is perfect active of katapth/ssw, third person plural, quoted from somewhere (there are several possibilities). Same glossing in Photius and elsewhere; earlier, Hesychius (kappa1665) glossed this headword with the phrase tw=| fo/bw| e)tapeinw/qhsan "they were humbled by fear".
