Dionysius of Halicarnassus,
Roman Antiquities 13.12.2: the invasion of Rome by the Gauls in 390 BCE. The verb form is the perfect passive participle, masculine genitive plural, of
kataqle/w. See
kappa 556 and
kappa 557 for the active meaning of the verb ('to wrestle down'). This active form, used intransitively, has sometimes the same meaning of 'being well trained' (
Plutarch,
Marius 26.10 and
de Liberis educandis 2.2E).
