The headword verb must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given below, which includes the corresponding infinitive).
[1] The Attic verb kattu/ei is repeated, as the second of this pair of synonyms, in its common (koine) form kassu/ei. The full gloss "sews together, stitches together" also occurs in Photius and the Lexica Segueriana; the former repeats kattu/ei as kattu/ei, the latter as kassu/ei.
[2] Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 5.9.4; the Suda leaves out the word o(plitikou=, "(forty thousand) armed men"; cf. de Boor (204) and Whitby (144). Baram (cf. beta 103) was a Persian general (and later rebel) who fought the Byzantines during the reign of Maurice (see also kappa 2025). Ms V reads *)abraa\m: cf. eta 447. The context of the quote is the marshaling of the rebel Persian army under Baram against the pursuing Roman/Persian forces south of Lake Matiane (Urmia, Urmiah; cf. epsilon 2328 note) in the summer of 591. Theophylact evidently invokes the metaphorical usage of the headword verb (see next note) in his description of Baram's planning. The Persian rebel attempted an attack by night, hoping to catch the combined opposition force unawares and steal a swift victory. But the difficult terrain impeded his troops' movements, and the trick of surprise that Baram had woven was exposed as the sun rose (Histories 5.9.5).
[3] After the metaphorical use of the verb in Aristophanes, Knights 314; see kappa 1127, and cf. kappa 1129.
