It is often used in contexts where something is being marked or labeled, such as an inscription on a monument, a title on a document, or a name on a list. In the New Testament, it conveys the idea of marking something with words for identification or instruction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, inscriptions were a common way to convey important information, commemorate events, or honor individuals. Public inscriptions were often carved into stone or metal and placed in prominent locations. The act of inscribing was significant, as it was a means of preserving words for posterity and ensuring that messages were communicated clearly and authoritatively.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and <a href="/greek/1125.htm">graphó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to write upon<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>inscription (1), read (1), write (2), written (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1924: ἐπιγράφω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπιγράφω</span></span>: future <span class="greek2">ἐπιγράψω</span>; perfect passive participle <span class="greek2">ἐπιγεγραμμενος</span>; pluperfect 3 person singular <span class="greek2">ἐπεγέγραπτο</span>; <span class="accented">to write upon, inscribe</span>: <span class="greek2">ἐπιγραφήν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-26.htm">Mark 15:26</a> and <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> brackets in <a href="/interlinear/luke/23-38.htm">Luke 23:38</a>; <span class="greek2">ὀνόματα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/21-12.htm">Revelation 21:12</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-23.htm">Acts 17:23</a>; figuratively, <span class="accented">to write upon the mind,</span> i. e. to fix indelibly upon it, cause to cleave to it and to be always vividly present to it: <span class="greek2">νόμους</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">καρδίας</span> (<span class="greek2">καρδίαν</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading), <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/8-10.htm">Hebrews 8:10</a>; <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">διανοιῶν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/10-16.htm">Hebrews 10:16</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>, <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">διάνοιαν</span>, ibid. <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (<span class="greek2">τούς</span> <span class="greek2">λόγους</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">πλάτος</span> <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">καρδίας</span>, <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/7-3.htm">Proverbs 7:3</a>).
