Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";a blow on the cheek with the open hand"; : see s.v. ῥαπίζω and add Field Notes, pp. 40 f., 105 f. The word is used of a ";scar,"; or the result of a blow, in a vi/A.D. account of the sale of a slave published in Archiv iii. p. 415 ff., see p. 419.83, and cf. Sudhoff Ärztliches, p. 143.

The difficult ῥαπίσμασιν αὐτὸν ἔλαβον in Mark 14:65 is fully discussed by Swete ad l., where he translates ";they caught Him with blows."; The RV adopts the rendering ";with blows of their hands"; in the text, but puts the alternative ";strokes of rods"; in the margin. Blass (Gr. p. 118) describes the phrase as a ";vulgarism,"; which at present can be paralleled only from a i/A.D. papyrus (αὐτὸν) κονδύλοις (";knuckles";) ἔλαβεν, published in Fleckeis. Jahrb. f. class. Philol. xxxviii. (1892), pp. 29, 33.
