κατώτερος, α, ον,
1. Comp. Adj. from κάτω, lower, Hp. Fract. 31, LXX 3 Ki. 9.17, etc.; τὰ κ. μέρη τῆς Ephesians 4:9; more southerly, Vett. Val. 34.21.
2. of Time, later, younger, Call. Cer. 131. Adv. κατωτέρω, v. cross κάτω.
κατώτερος, κατώτερα, κατώτερον (comparitive of κάτω, see ἀνώτερος) (Hippocrates, Theophrastus, Athen., others), lower: (ὁ Χριστός) κατέβη εἰς τά κατώτερα μέρη τῆς γῆς, Ephesians 4:9, which many understand of Christ's descent into Hades (τόν τόπον τόν κάτω καλούμενον, Plato, Phaedo, p. 112 c.), taking τῆς γῆς as a partitive genitive (see ᾅδης, 2). But the mention of tiffs fact is at variance with the connection. Paul is endeavoring to show that the passage he has just before quoted, Psalm 67:19
