Hunched.[1] Also [sc. attested is the phrase] "all-stooping olive,"[2] that which is stooped over.[3]
Also in the Epigrams: "and stooping shrimp - he will count them for you himself."[4]

[3] Thus far, the entry =
Photius kappa1276, except that
Photius reads
κατακεκαμμένη ('bent over') instead of the Suda's
κατακεκυμμένη ('stooped over'). That the reading in
Photius is not accidental is indicated by the use of the same gloss in
Photius' separate entry on the 'all-stooping olive' (368.2 Porson). Theodoridis (at kappa1276 and
Prolegomena lxvi) suggests that the Suda's reading may have been influenced by the presence of the gloss
κεκύμμενον in the previous entry,
kappa 2798. On the "all-stooping olive" (apparently a reference to
Athena's olive tree on the Acropolis of
Athens) see
Pollux 9.17, alongside
Hesychius alpha7851, pi23;
Pollux 6.163.
