καταναρκάω, which in the NT is confined to 2 Corinthians 11:9; 2 Corinthians 12:13 f., is classed by Jerome (Ep. ad Algas. qu. 10) among Paul’s cilicisms. It may, however, have been a medical term in regular use, as it is found in Hippocrates (Art. 816 C) : cf. the simplex ναρκάω in Genesis 32:25; Genesis 32:32, Job 33:19, and ἀποναρκάω in Plut. De Liber. Educ. p. 8. The subst. νάρκα (Lob. Phryn. p, 331) = ";torpor"; is found in Menander Fragm, p. 143 : cf. M. Anton, x. 9 πτοία, νάρκα, δουλεία.
