Sounds Like: kah-teh-TREH-khen-EES
Translations: was running down into, was running down to, was running down toward
From the root: ΚΑΤΑΤΡΕΧΩ, ΕἸΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a compound phrase, likely a misspelling or a very close joining of the verb 'κατετρέχεν' (katetrechen) and the preposition 'εἰς' (eis). 'Κατετρέχεν' is the imperfect active indicative, third person singular, of the verb 'κατατρέχω' (katatrechō), meaning 'to run down' or 'to run against'. The preposition 'εἰς' means 'into', 'to', or 'toward', and it typically takes an accusative object. Therefore, the phrase would mean 'he/she/it was running down into/to/toward'.
Inflection: Verb: Imperfect, Active, Indicative, Third Person, Singular; Preposition: Does not inflect
