Strong's Lexicon epigraphó: To write upon, inscribe Original Word: ἐπιγράφω Word Origin: From ἐπί (epi, meaning "on" or "upon") and γράφω (graphó, meaning "to write") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "epigraphó," the concept of inscribing or writing is found in Hebrew words such as כָּתַב (kathab, Strong's H3789), which means "to write." Usage: The verb "epigraphó" means to write or inscribe something upon a surface. It is often used in contexts where something is being marked or labeled, such as an inscription on a monument, a title on a document, or a name on a list. In the New Testament, it conveys the idea of marking something with words for identification or instruction. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, inscriptions were a common way to convey important information, commemorate events, or honor individuals. Public inscriptions were often carved into stone or metal and placed in prominent locations. The act of inscribing was significant, as it was a means of preserving words for posterity and ensuring that messages were communicated clearly and authoritatively.
