Headword: Kathosiôsis
Adler number: kappa,122
Translated headword: treason; holiness
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[A term deriving] from being against the holy, that is [against] the emperor.[1]
"In the time when Theodosius was emperor of the Romans, Symmachus, of consular rank, issued a speech for the imperial despot Maximus and, fearing the charge of treason he fled to the precincts of the churches; Theodosius deemed him worthy of total clemency."[2]
And elsewhere about Christ: "for we gave him over to the laws, and we did not sin against holiness."[3]
Greek Original:

Notes:
[1] For this sense of the headword see LSJ s.v., II (crimen laesae majestatis); kappa 121 has a quite different one, and see again below.
[2] cf. Socrates, Historia Ecclesiastica 5.14. "Maximus" here is Magnus Maximus or Maximianus, who usurped control over the Western Roman Empire and on whom Quintus Aurelius Symmachus delivered a panegyric.
[3] John of Antioch fr.90 FHG (4.574), now 172 Roberto; see also nu 254.
