The characteristic force of this verb, ";perceive,"; ";understand,"; ";take note of,"; is seen in P Hib I. 27.38 (B.C. 301—240) if we accept the editors’ restoration—μακ [ρὸν ] καὶ ξένον σοι κατα [νοῖν ? , ";a long and unfamiliar thing to understand (?)"; (Edd.) : cf. P Par 63.192 (B.C. 165) (= P Petr III. p. 35) ὅταν. . τὸ συμ ̣ϕ ̣έρον κατανοῶσι κοινὸν νομιζόμενον, ";as soon as they perceive that the advantage is regarded as common to all"; (Mahaffy), BGU III. 1011ii. 17 (ii/B.C.) διότι γὰρ πολ [λὰ ] ληρώι [δη ] καὶ ψευδῆ προσα ̣γ [γ ̣]έλ ̣[λε ]ται κατανοεῖς καὶ αὐτός, Syll 928.73 (ii/B.C. ad init.) πολὺ μᾶλλον [ἀδύνατον ἦν ] κατανοεῖν [τὰ ἐμπ ]ρη [σθέν ]τα. See also Aristeas 3 τὴν προαίρεσιν ἔχοντες ἡμεῖς πρὸς τὸ περιέργως τὰ θεῖα κατανοεῖν ἑαυτοὺς ἐπεδώκαμεν κτλ., ";it was my devotion to the careful study of religion which led me to offer my services"; etc. (Thackeray).
