"Sealed with Blood"

σφρᾱγίζω (sphragizó) primarily means "to close or enclose with a seal." This includes sealing documents or containers to secure their contents (e.g., Euripides' Iphigenia in Aulis 38, LXX Bel. 14), authenticating documents (e.g., IG 9(1).61.78,95), certifying objects after inspection (e.g., PRev.Laws 25.10, Wilcken Chr. 89.5), and indicating pledging (e.g., Plutarch, Pompey 5). It can also refer to making an impression with a seal for various purposes (e.g., Aristotle, Memorabilia 450a32).

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:

LITV Translation:
