1. The front of the head as a marked location · dominant

   The noun identifies the bodily place on which identifying writing or a sign is placed. In Revelation 13:16 the APB renders a mark as given "upon their forehead," while Revelation 14:1 and Revelation 22:4 describe a name written or placed there; Revelation 7:3 and Revelation 9:4 similarly refer to a seal of God on people in that location. The singular accusative forms occur where a mark or written name is placed on an individual, as in Revelation 14:9, Revelation 17:5, and Revelation 20:4.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently presents the term with "forehead" or "foreheads," especially in clauses about marks, names, and seals.
