Notes (1)
- Likewise in the Synagoge (sigma 1) and Photius, Lexicon sigma5 Theodoridis.
The headword occurs in Genesis 22:13 LXX, the ram (eventually sacrificed by Abraham in place of his son Isaac) caught by its horns in a shrub:katexo/menos e)n futw=| sabek tw=n kera/twn . Ancient and modern commentators alike have struggled to understand the word, with some taking it to be the name of the shrub; alternatively, it is construed as some sort of adverbial expansion ofkatexo/menos . - 1One manuscript actually adds
glw/tths . ↩
