"They say that
Antisthenes was the first to let his beard grow and to use a pouch and staff".[1]
Καθεῖναι: ἐπὶ τὸ κάτω ἀπολῦσαι. Ἀντισθένην φασὶ πρῶτον πώγωνα καθεῖναι καὶ βάκτρῳ καὶ πήρᾳ χρήσασθαι.
Note:
[1] A clumsy summary of
Diogenes Laertius 6.13; the claim about beard-growing actually concerns not
Antisthenes (
alpha 2723) but another philosopher, Diodoros of
Aspendos. For the idiom
πώγωνα καθεῖναι see already
Aristophanes,
Ecclesiazusae 99-100, and generally LSJ s.v.
καθίημι .
