    DefinitionShort: a meaningful mark, whether engraved, imprinted, or branded
    Glosses: ['mark', 'brand']
    Comments: A strictly literal translation of ‘the mark of the beast’ might imply ‘a picture of the beast’ or ‘a mark made by the beast.’ A more satisfactory indication of the relationship between ‘mark’ and ‘beast’ would be ‘a mark showing one’s relationship to the beast’ or ‘a mark of loyalty to the beast’ or ‘a mark of the party of the beast.’

    DefinitionShort: an object (not necessarily three-dimensional) which has been formed to resemble a person, god, animal, etc.
    Glosses: ['likeness', 'image (see {D:58.35})']
    Comments: In certain contexts the referents of {L:εἰκών}[a], {L:τύπος}[b], and χάραγμα[b] may have special religious significance in that they may refer to idols, but the focal component for the translator is that of a likeness or resemblance. In contexts such as {S:04002202000012} an equivalent translation may be simply ‘a picture,’ but in {S:04500102300020} and {S:04400704300030} one may use the same expression as is employed to render {L:εἴδωλον}[a] ‘idol’ ({D:6.97}).
