Notes
- The headword is aorist passive of
katasbe/nnumi , third person singular. Same or similar entry in other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa438, where Theodoridis notes that the headword occurs in Hippocrates, Epidemics 1.1. Another possibility for its source [DW] is Lucian, Symposium 15.
