STRONGS G2775:
κεφαλαιόω,
κεφαλαιω: 1 aorist
ἐκεφαλαιωσα (
T WH ἐκεφαλιωσα (see below)); (
κεφάλαιον);
1. to bring under heads, to sum up, to summarize (
Thucydides,
Aristotle, others).
2. in an unusual sense,
to smite or wound in the head:
Mark 12:4. It is of no use to appeal to the analogy of the verb
γναθόω, which means
εἰς γναθους τύπτω to smite on the cheek, since
κεφαλαισον is nowhere used of the head of the body.
Tdf. (
WH) (after manuscripts
א B
L) have adopted
ἐκεφαλίωσαν (from
κεφάλιον, equivalent to
κεφαλίς, which see). But neither
κεφαλιόω nor
κεφαλίζω has yet been noted in any Greek authority. Cf.
Lob. ad Phryn., p. 95. (Compare:
ἀνα-κεφαλαιόω.)
