Adler number: kappa,622
Translated headword: grasping, cognition
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] knowledge. Aristophanes in Clouds [writes]: "[the celestial clouds give us] circumlocution and chicanery and cognition". He said this in a musical sense. For they speak of grasping [kata/lhyis], when they lay hold of the strings with the plectrum or with the fingers, so as to stretch out the sound.
