The Greek Hat: 2 Maccabees 4:12 as a Euphemism for Reverse Circumcision

Instead, it is a sly euphemism for a foreskin, and refers to the practice of epispasm, or the restructuring of a penis to reverse the look of circumcision. Such a reading fits well with the text’s anxiety around the gymnasium and its concern for Torah observance. | ||
