Καθοσίωσις
Adler number: kappa,122

Vetting Status: low
Translation: [A term deriving] from being against the holy, that is [against] the emperor.
"In the time when
Theodosius was emperor of the Romans,
Symmachus, of consular rank, issued a speech for the imperial despot
Maximus and, fearing the charge of treason he fled to the precincts of the churches;
Theodosius deemed him worthy of total clemency."[2]
And again about Christ: "for we gave him over to the laws, and we did not sin against holiness."[3]
Καθοσίωσις: παρὰ τὸ κατὰ τοῦ ὁσίου γίνεσθαι, ἤτοι τοῦ βασιλέως. ὅτι ἐπὶ Θεοδοσίου τοῦ βασιλέως Ῥωμαίων Σύμμαχος ἀπὸ ὑπάτων εἰς τὸν τύραννον Μάξιμον βασιλικὸν λόγον διεξῆλθε καὶ δεδιὼς τὸ τῆς καθοσιώσεως ἔγκλημα τοῖς τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν σηκοῖς προσκαταφεύγει: ὃν ὁ Θεοδόσιος πάσης φιλανθρωπίας ἠξίωσε. καὶ αὖθις περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ: τοῖς γὰρ νόμοις αὐτὸν παρεδώκαμεν, καὶ εἰς καθοσίωσιν οὐχ ἡμάρτομεν.

kappa 121 has a quite different one, and see again below.
