Notes:
[1] Likewise in Photius. The headword, aorist infinitive of katanwti/zomai, is perhaps though not necessarily from the quotation given (which Photius does not have). See in any event LSJ s.v., I.
[2] Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 251 Zintzen (150 Asmus); cf. Photius Bibliotheca 346a 12-14. (For this Plutarch -- not the biographer -- see pi 1794.) For this applied/figurative meaning of the verb, see LSJ s.v. II.
