This is probably hRAiDIOS/A/ON (ῥᾴδιος), Homeric hRHIDIOS  
(ῥῄδιος, η, ον), easy, manageable, pliant, ready to hand

σκῆπτρον: staff or stick, esp. as used as a symbol of  
authority, (English derivative: "scepter")

There's no such verb, I think. I suspect that KAQISTHMI  
(καθίστημι) is meant, a verb with wide-ranging senses, one of  
the most fundamental of which is "bring into a state/status"
