ῤάπισμα, ῥαπισματος, τό (ῤαπίζω, which see);
1. a blow with a rod or a staff or a scourge (Antiphanes in Athen. 14, p. 623 b.; Anthol., Lucian).
2. a blow with the flat of the hand, a slap in the face, box on the car: βάλλειν τινα ῤαπίσμασιν (see βάλλω, 1), Mar 14:65; διδόναι τίνι ῤάπισμα, Joh 18:22; ῤαπίσματα, Joh 19:3 (but in all three examples R. V. marginal reading recognizes sense 1 (see references under the word ῤαπίζω)).
