10.47 · Kinship Terms · Kinship Relations Involving Successive Generations

little daughter, dear daughter (a diminutive derivative of θυγάτηρ[a] daughter, 10.46, with possible emphasis upon young age and probable implication of affection) In MRK 5:23 the text indicates specifically that the daughter was twelve years of age, and it may very well be that in MRK 7:25 (the only other passage in which θυγάτριον occurs in the NT) the daughter may have been of approximately the same age. In languages in which some indication of relative age is obligatory, one could employ a term identifying a girl about the age of puberty.
