Thayer's Greek Lexicon
κεφαλαιόω, -@: 1 aor. ἐκεφαλαίωσα [T WH ἐκεφαλίωσα (see below) ]; (κεφάλαιον) ; 1. to bring under heads, to sum up, to summarize, (Thue., Aristot., al.). 2. in an unusual sense, to smile or wound in the head: Mk. xii. 4. It is of no use to appeal to the analogy of the verb γναθόω, which means εἰς γνάθους τύπτω to smite on the cheek, since κεφάλαιον is nowhere used of the head of the body. Tdf. [WH] (after codd. % BL) have adopted ἐκεφαλίωσαν (fr. κεφάλιον, i. 4. κεφαλίς, 4. ν.). But neither κεφαλιόω nor κεφαλίζω has yet been noted in any Greek author. Cf. Lob. ad Phryn. p. 95. [Comp.: ἀνα-κεφαλαιόω.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κεφαλαιόω. The natural meaning of ἐκεφαλαίωσαν which is read in TR of Mk 12’, and is retained by von Soden, would be “summed up,” ‘‘stated summarily ” (see s.v. κεφάλαιον and cf. κεφαλαιωτής, ‘ collector,” in P Oxy X. 1253!® (iv/A.D.) with the editor’s note), but the context clearly requires some such rendering as ‘‘smote on the head.” The explanation may be either that Mk ‘‘adopted a known word in an unknown sense in preference to ἐκεφάλωσαν, of which both sound and sense were unknown ᾿᾿ (Field (Votes, p. 35f.), or that ‘‘something in the Aramaic original suggested it’’ (Allen Mark, ad /., cf. JTS ii. p. 298 84). The reading of NBL ἐκεφαλίωσαν, from an otherwise unknown κεφαλιόω (cf. Lob. Phryn. p. 95), may be, according to Burkitt (4/7, IQII, p. 173 ff.), a palaeographical blunder for ἐκολάφισαν.
