Dec 26, 2023 at 19:10	comment	added	GratefulDisciple		As clarified in my comments to @RobbieGoodwin, I'm not asking about the meaning of κατακεῖσθαι , nor of its etymology. This Q is squarely about the origin of "sat at meat", the connotations in 1600s, and why the KJV translators would render the meaning "recline at table" as "sat at meat" instead of other possible renditions. Therefore, your answer doesn't really answer the question; it would be great if you could address either the origin of "sat at meat" and/or possible choices for "recline at table" meaning in Elizabethan English rather than the one ultimately chosen by the KJV translators.
