Katatomē
katatomē is a Greek word meaning 'incision.'
Classical Greek
1. The original meaning, following etymology, in classical texts means 'incision,' 'notch,' or 'groove,', whereas aneu katatomes means 'uncarved,' 'smooth,'. The plural, 'notches,' is found in Artemidorus and 'written in the incision of the rock', Philochorus Historicus, 4th century BCE.2. By extension it also came to mean an architectural 'incision', 'nook' in a theatre, in Hyperides, perhaps the same as the orchestra or diazoma,. Demosthenes placed himself beneath the katatome which suggests he may have been barred from speaking to any citizen from another phyle.
3. A later meaning is katagraphe καταγραφή, 'profile,' according to Hesychius Lexicographus, 5th century AD.
