Hv 1, 2, 3; τί οὕτως στυγνὸς κ., κύριε; why do you look so sad and downcast? AcPl Ha 7, 30. This word is restored in 8, 8: [κατηφ]ὲ̣ς ἀποθέμενον, but τῆς λύπης, as in the duplicate AcPl BMM recto 7 (s. λύπη), fits just as well. Although κατηφής is used in the immediate context of Ha, the pap also uses λύπη.—DELG.
