Headword: *kataspeu/santa
Adler number: kappa,780
Translated headword: [one who] had been eager
Vetting Status: high

[Meaning him who] had been badly advised, had had hostile plans. "[... that] Euphemios [was] responsible for these things, inasmuch as he had been eager for government and for royal/imperial power and had associated with those behaving as tyrants".[1]
Greek Original:
*kataspeu/santa: kakw=s bouleuqe/nta, e)xqra\ bouleusa/menon. ai)/tion de\ tou/twn *eu)fh/mion, oi(=a ei)s politei/an kai\ ei)s basilei/an kataspeu/santa kai\ toi=s turannou=si sumfraca/menon.
Notes:
The headword -- aorist active participle of kataspeu/dw, masculine accusative singular -- is evidently extracted from the quotation given.
[1] Quotation unidentifiable. (According to Adler it was attributed by de Boor to John of Antioch. If this were correct, it would exclude the possibility that this Euphemios is the (arguably) most obvious bearer of that name: the E. who proclaimed himself king of Sicily, in defiance of Byzantine rule, in the first quarter of the ninth century. Not accepted as a fr. of John by Roberto. For another possibility, see pi 2811 note 2.)
