Ὅστις γὰρ ἐν πολλοῖσιν ὡς ἐγὼ κακοῖς ζῇ, πῶς ὅδ' Οὐχὶ κατθανὼν κέρδος φέρει; → For one who lives amidst such evils as I do, how could it not be best to die?

Sophocles, Antigone, 464-5

κόβω το κεφάλι ή την κορυφή κάποιου, κουτσοκεφαλιάζω.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. < κοψ(ο)- + -κεφαλ-ιάζω (< κεφάλι), πρβλ. πονο-κεφαλιάζω, σπαζο-κεφαλιάζω].
