Also [sc. attested is] kateago/ta ["having been broken"], [meaning they] having been shattered.[1]
*katea/gh. kai\ *kateago/ta, keklasme/na.
The primary headword (unglossed) is aorist passive, third person singular, of
kata/gnumi. It must be quoted from somewhere; perhaps
Aristophanes,
Wasps 1428, though there are numerous other possibilities.
[1] Perfect participle (active form with passive sense) of the same verb (cf.
kappa 903), neuter nominative/accusative plural (rather than masculine accusative singular, as the glossing shows). Same or similar glossing in other lexica; see the references at
Photius kappa406 Theodoridis. Again, it must be quoted from somewhere: perhaps directly from a fragment of
Damascius which the Suda quotes several times (
kappa 903,
omega 258,
tau 100), but that passage itself surely derives from a boxing metaphor used by
Plato (
Gorgias 515E and 524C,
Protagoras 342B).
