Lit., thrown. She had probably experienced some fearful convulsion when the demon departed. Compare Mark 9:22, of the demon which possessed the boy: “It hath cast him, etc. ( ἔβαλεν )See also Mark 1:26; sa40" translation="">Mark 9:26.sa40 [source]
Further vivid details by Mark. Night and day his loud scream or screech could be heard like other demoniacs (cf. Mark 1:26; Mark 3:11; Mark 9:26). The verb for cutting himself occurs here only in the N.T., though an old verb. It means to cut down (perfective use of κατα katȧ). We say cut up, gash, hack to pieces. Perhaps he was scarred all over with such gashes during his moments of wild frenzy night and day in the tombs and on the mountains. Periphrastic imperfect active with ην ēn and the participles.

Literally, “It tears him with (accompanied with, μετα meta) foam” (old word, απρος aphros only here in the N.T.).

See Mark 9:17; and note on Matthew 17:15 for variations in the symptoms in each Gospel. The use of μετα απρου meta aphrou is a medical item.Hardly (μολις molis). Late word used in place of μογις mogis the old Greek term (in some MSS. here) and alone in Luke‘s writings in the N.T. save 1 Peter 4:18; Romans 5:7.Bruising him sorely Common verb for rubbing together, crushing together like chains (Mark 5:4) or as a vase (Mark 14:3). See notes on Matthew 17:15 and notes on Mark 9:17 for discussion of details here. [source]
Old word diminutive from τυρα thura door, a little door. Latticed window (no glass) opened because of the heat from the lamps and the crowd. Our window was once spelt windore (Hudibras), perhaps from the wrong idea that it was derived from wind and door. Eutychus (a common slave name) was sitting on In the N.T. τυρις thuris only here and 2 Corinthians 11:33 Present passive participle of καταπερω katapherō to bear down, and followed by instrumental case (υπνωι hupnōi). Describes the gradual process of going into deep sleep. Great medical writers use βατυς bathus with υπνος hupnos as we do today (deep sleep). D here has βασει basei (heavy) for βατει bathei (deep).
