ἔτυπτε

týptō

beat

To strike, beat, or hit—especially with repeated blows or force. In the core literal sense, implies striking with the hand, an instrument, or other implement; can indicate inflicting physical violence or punishment. Secondarily, may be used figuratively of wounding, afflicting, or causing harm (e.g. emotional injury), but always retains the notion of forceful impact.
