With reference to this topic, we should note that Stanley Porter has
a monograph on these verbs:
KATALASSW in ancient Greek literature : with reference to the Pauline
writings / Stanley E. Porter.
Publisher: CCordoba : Ediciones el Almendro,
Date: 11994.
Series: EEstudios de filologÌa neotestamentaria ; 5
Caveat lector: I haven't read it, so this is just a heads-up, FWIW.
Grace and peace,
