Notes (1)

  1. The lemma uses the perfect indicative active, third person singular, of the verb kaqi/sthmi, I set down, set in order, stand calm); see generally LSJ s.v. The phrase is evidently extracted from somewhere -- perhaps Epiphanius, Panarion 3.87.13 (Holl), which is the first attested instance of the negative particle ou) preceding the headword verb.
  2. 1The first gloss uses the present indicative active, third person singular, of the verb nh/fw, I am sober, I drink no wine; see generally LSJ s.v. The second gloss is the present indicative, third person singular, of the verb mai/nomai (I rave, rage, am mad); see LSJ s.v. The headword is identically glossed in the Synagoge, Photius' Lexicon (omicron629 Theodoridis), and Lexica Segueriana 322.7. ↩
