STRONGS G346:
ἀνακεφαλαιόω,
-ῶ: [present passive
ἀνακεφαλαιοῦμαι; 1 aorist middle infinitive
ἀνακεφαλαιώσασθαι]; (from
κεφαλαιόω, which see, and this from
κεφάλαιον which see);
to sum up (
again),
to repeat summarily and
so to condense into a summary (as, the substance of a speech; Quintilian 6.1 '
rerum repetitio et congregatio,
quae graece ἀνακεφαλαίωσις dicitur', [
ἔργον ῥητορικῆς...
ἀνακεφαλαιώσασθαι πρὸς ἀνάμνησιν, Aristotle, fragment 123, vol. v., p. 1499
a, 33]); so in
Romans 13:9. In
Ephesians 1:10 God is said
ἀνακεφαλαιώσασθαι τὰ πάντα ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ, to bring together again for himself (note the middle) all things and beings (hitherto disunited by sin) into one combined state of fellowship in Christ, the universal bond [cf. Meyer or Ellicott on Ephesians, the passage cited]; (Protevangelium Jacobi 13
εἰς ἐμέ ἀνεκεφαλαιώθη ἡ ἱστορία Ἀδάμ, where cf. Thilo).
