Notes: In RV MRK 5:41 · LV MRK 5:41 · Read together MRK 5:41 κοράσιον is equated in meaning with the Aramaic term ταλιθα (see 9.48: ταλιθά), and in RV MRK 5:42 · LV MRK 5:42 · Read together MRK 5:42 this girl is identified as being twelve years of age. Compare also ἠνέχθη ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδόθη τῷ κορασίῳ ‘his head was brought in on a plate and given to the girl’ (RV MAT 14:11 · LV MAT 14:11 · Read together MAT 14:11).
