ἀκατάπαστος,
-ον, — found only in
2 Peter 2:14 in manuscripts A and B, from which L WH Tr marginal reading have adopted it instead of the Rec. ἀκαταπαύστους, which see. It may be derived from πατέομαι, perfect πέπασμαι, to taste, eat; whence ἀκατάπαστος insatiable. In secular writings κατάπαστος [which Buttmann conjectures may have been the original reading] signifies besprinkled, soiled, from καταπάσσω to besprinkle. For a fuller discussion of this various reading see Buttmann, 65 (57) [and WH's Appendix, p. 170].
