καμμύω, a form which passed over from the Epic (cf. Hom. batrach. 191) and com. language [Apoll. Dyse. synt. 323, 22; 326, 9] into the Alexandrian and decaying Greek; condemned by Phryn. [as below]; derived by syncope and assimilation from καταμύω (which the earlier and more elegant Greeks use), (cf. καμμέν, καμμονή, κάμμορος, fr. κατὰ μέν, καταμονή, κατάμορος, cf. Bitm.

B. 62 (55); W.24,46]): 1 aor. ἐκάμpuoa; to shut the eyes, close the eyes: often w. τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς added ; so Mt. xiii. 15 and Acts xxviii. 27, (fr. Sept. Is. vi. 10, for pwn, i.e. to besmear), in both which pass. the phrase designates the inflexible pertinacity and obstinacy of the Jews in their opposition to the gospel. (Is. xxix. 10; Lam. iii. 43; καμμύειν τὸ τῆς ψυχῆς ὄμμα, Philo de somn. i. § 26.)
