Thayer's Greek Lexicon
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: Mar 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 à 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: ανα(κεφαλαιόω.)
STRONGS NT 2775: κεφαλιόωκεφαλιόω: Mar 12:4 T WH (approved also by Weiss, Volkmar, others), for κεφαλαιόω, which see.
