[Jn] 54). In A/zchel 13251 (iv-ii/B.c.) the verb is used of binding by a curse—Maviv καταδῶ καὶ κατέχω. (4) The verb is also = “"" lay hands on,” ‘‘ impress” for some public duty, as in P Giss I. 119 (A.p. 118) κατεσχέτί = 0)nv ὑπὸ τοῦ ἐπιτρόπου ὥστε εἱερατεύειν τοῦ χειρεισμοῦ τῶν κυβερνητ(ῶν), and P Lond 342?

(5) There still remains the common NT meaning “hold back,” ‘‘detain,” ‘restrain,” as e.g. in Lk 442, Rom 118, 2 Thess 26f., Philem 18, The following may serve as illustrations—PSI V. 525° (iii/B.c.) where a man complains that having been “‘ detained” (κατασχεθείς) in town, he has spent his money, BGU IV. 1205%?

Reference may also be made, in view of its intrinsic interest, to the heathen (Archiv ii. p- 173) charm which Crum prints in his Coptic Ostraca p. 4, No. 522: it begins—Kpévos ὁ κατέχων τὸν θυμὸν ὅλον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, κάτεχε τὸν θυμὸν “Ὧρι κτὰ. In some of the southern islands of Greece κατέχω is still used, as in Plato, = καταλαμβάνω, in the sense of ‘‘ know.
