STRONGS G609:
ἀποκόπτω: 1 aorist ἀπεκοψα; future middle ἀποκόψομαι; to cut off, amputate: Mark 9:43 (45); John 18:10, 26; Acts 27:32; ὄφελον καὶ ἀποκόψονται I would that they (who urge the necessity of circumcision would not only circumcise themselves, but) would even mutilate themselves (or cut off their privy parts), Galatians 5:12. ἀποκόπτεσθαι occurs in this sense in Deuteronomy 23:1; [Philo de alleg. leg. 3:3; de vict. off. § 13; cf. de spec. legg. i. § 7]; Epictetus diss. 2, 20, 19; Lucian, Eun. 8; [Dion Cass. 79, 11; Diodorus Siculus 3, 31], and other passages quoted by Wetstein at the passage [and Sophocles Lexicon under the word]. Others incorrectly: I would that they would cut themselves off from the society of Christians, quit it altogether; [cf. Meyer and Bp. Lightfoot at the passage].
