Notes:
[1] The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is third person singular, aorist indicative active, of
kataxlaino/w.
[2] Quotation left unidentified by Adler; now Favuzzi [see under
alpha 1596] 214-215 finds vocabulary-based grounds for attributing it to John of
Antioch. Menas is presumably the pirate chief of
pi 2025 and
tau 106. In any event, the distinction being drawn here is between the heavy
chlaina (
chi 335) and the lighter
himation (
iota 338,
iota 339,
iota 340).
