κατα-στολή, -ῆς, ἡ, (καταστέλλω, 4. V-) ; 1. prop. a lowering, letting down; hence 2. iv bibl. Grk. twice, a garment let down, dress, attire: 1 Tim. ii. 9, Vulg. habitus, which the translator, acc. to later Lat. usage, seems to understand of clothing (cf. the French Vhabit); [ef. Joseph. b. j. 2, 8,4]; for ΤΠ}, Is. Ixi. 3, with which in mind Hesych. says xatagroAjy- περιβολὴν [ef. W. 23, but esp. Ellicott on i Tim. 1. c.].

καταστολή katastolē 1x

pr. an arranging in order; adjustment of dress; in NT apparel, dress, 1 Tim. 2:9*

κατα-στολή, -ῆς, ἡ

(< καταστέλλω), [in LXX: Is 61:3 (מַעֲטֶה)*;]

a letting down, checking.

steadiness, quietness in demeanour.

LXX and NT (cf. Plut., ii, 65 D; -ίζω = vestire), a garment, dress, attire: I Ti 2:9 (but v. Ellic., in l.).†

καταστολή is confined in Bibl. Greek to Isai 613, 1 Tim 25. In both these passages it is usually understood of ‘‘clothing ἢ ; but in view of the word’s being used also with an inner reference, as in Priene 109*8° (c. B.C, 120) τῆι δὲ καταστολῇ Kal τῆι εὐσχημ[οσύνῃ, it is probable that it should be understood in the wider sense of ‘‘ demeanour,”’ ‘‘ deportment” (like κατάστημα g.v.) in 1 Tim /.c. : see Dibelius’ note HZNT ad 1., and cf. Aristeas 284 pet εὐσχημοσύνης καὶ καταστολῆς, “with decency and restraint,” and 2. 285 σὺ δὲ πᾶσαν ἠσκηκὼς καταστολήν, ‘ but thou hast practised all restraint.” For x. = ‘‘ overthrow,” ‘‘ subjugation,” see Chrest. I, 1215 (B.C. 88) Ἱέρακα δὲ προκεχειρίσθαι μετὰ δυνάμεων μυρίων ἐπὶ καταστολὴν τῆς Θηβαίδος.
