|txtha=στιγματος, τό (from [[στίζω]] to [[prick]]; (cf. Latin [[stimulus]], etc.; German stechen, English [[stick]], [[sting]], etc.; [[Curtius]], § 226)), a [[mark]] pricked in or branded [[upon]] the [[body]]. According to [[ancient]] [[oriental]] [[usage]], slaves and soldiers [[bore]] the [[name]] or [[stamp]] of [[their]] [[master]] or [[commander]] branded or pricked ([[cut]]) [[into]] [[their]] bodies to [[indicate]] [[what]] [[master]] or [[general]] [[they]] belonged to, and [[there]] were [[even]] [[some]] devotees [[who]] [[stamped]] [[themselves]] in [[this]] [[way]] [[with]] the token of [[their]] gods (cf. Deyling, Observations, iii., p. 423ff); [[hence]], τά στίγματα [[τοῦ]] (κυρίου so ) Ἰησοῦ, the marks of (the Lord) Jesus, [[which]] Paul in Lightfoot s Commentary on Galatians , the [[passage]] cited).
