Strong's Lexicon epigraphé: Inscription, writing Original Word: ἐπιγραφή Word Origin: From the Greek verb ἐπιγράφω (epigrapho), meaning "to write upon" or "to inscribe." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "epigraphé," the concept of inscriptions can be related to Hebrew terms like כָּתוּב (kathub, Strong's H3791), meaning "writing" or "written." Usage: The term "epigraphé" refers to an inscription or something that is written upon a surface. In the New Testament, it is used to denote a written statement or title, often of significant importance or authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, inscriptions were commonly used for various purposes, including official decrees, public notices, and epitaphs. They were often carved into stone, metal, or other durable materials to ensure longevity. Inscriptions served as a means of communication and record-keeping in a largely oral culture, providing a permanent testament to events, laws, or declarations.
