Notes:
The headword, evidently extracted from the quotation given, is present participle, masculine genitive singular, of the otherwise unattested verb
kateriqeu/omai. LSJ s.v. translate it, as here, 'overcome [sc. someone] by intrigue', i.e. middle rather than passive; cf.
e)riqeu/omai (
epsilon 2985),
e)ceriqeu/omai (
epsilon 1647).

Polybius] fr. 173 Büttner-Wobst (authorship (and personnel) unknown). Büttner-Wobst notes (537) that Valesius (Henri de Valois 1603-1676) attributed this fragment to
Polybius. However, Büttner-Wobst doubts the attribution, following Schweighäuser, who rejected the fragment (ibid.)
