thugatrion refers to a young daughter, whether seriously ill or described as having an unclean spirit.

The attested use refers to a young daughter in two family situations: a father pleads for her healing in Mark 5:23, and a woman comes because her daughter has an unclean spirit in Mark 7:25.

Senses in use

  1. A young daughter in need · dominant

    Both occurrences use a nominative singular neuter noun for a daughter whose condition prompts an appeal to Jesus. In Mark 5:23 the APB renders the father’s plea concerning his "little daughter" who is extremely ill; in Mark 7:25 it renders a woman’s daughter as having an unclean spirit.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "little daughter" in both verses. This rendering is read alongside the noun’s placement in each clause.
