23.81 · Physiological Processes and States · Tire, Rest
to rest, to cease from work to cease one’s work or activity, resulting in a period of rest καταπαύω[a] and κατάπαυσις appear to differ in meaning from ἀναπαύομαι[a] and ἀνάπαυσις[b] (23.80) in that the emphasis of καταπαύω[a] and κατάπαυσις is more upon the cessation of activity resulting in rest rather than upon the mere restorative character of rest.
