tı̄´t ' 50 : John 19:19 , John 19:20 for τίτλος , tı́tlos . The following arrangement of the title on the cross has been suggested: See Geikie, Life and Words of Christ , chapter lxiii, note e; Seymour, The Cross in Tradition, History and Art (New York, 1898), pp. 115,116, 136,138. In 2 Kings 23:17 , the King James Version has "title" for ציּוּן , ciyyūn . The word is connected with cāwāh , "to command," and King James Version seems to have understood ciyyūn as "that giving directions," "sign-posts" (compare Ezekiel 39:15 ). The word, however, means "grave-stone," "monument." See SUPERSCRIPTION .
