Headword: Καθεσταμένος
Adler number: kappa,54
Translated headword: having been appointed
Vetting Status: low
Translation:
Having had [something] entrusted.
[As in] "having been appointed to the treasury."[1] [Meaning] assigned.
And elsewhere: "and he did not deem [himself] worthy to preserve any of the established things."[2] That is to say, [anything] of what was already accomplished.
Greek Original:
Καθεσταμένος: ἐπιτετραμμένος. καθεσταμένος ἐπὶ τῆς γάζης. τεταγμένος. καὶ αὖθις: καὶ φυλάσσειν μὲν τῶν καθεσταμένων οὐδὲν ἠξίου. τουτέστι τῶν ἤδη τελεσθέντων.
Notes:
The headword is perfect middle/passive participle, masculine nominative singular, of the verb καθίστημι (for which see also kappa 53, kappa 113, kappa 114, kappa 115).
[1] Perhaps [KK] an approximation of Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 11.320 (which reads καταστησάμενος...ἐπὶ τὴν τῶν Γαζαίων πόλιν ), but [DW] it is hard to be certain, even without the ambiguity of Gaza/gaza.
[2] Procopius, Secret History 6.21, writing of Justinian.
