The sole attested use identifies a bodily location on which a name is written in Revelation 19:16.

Senses in use

  1. Bodily location bearing an inscription · dominant

    In Revelation 19:16, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in the clause locating a written name on the robe and on this bodily location; the APB renders the verse, "And he has on the robe and on his thigh a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Revelation 19:16, the APB presents the location as "on his thigh"; This confirms the clause's setting rather than a precise lexical mapping.
