Exegesis
Charagma {χάραγμα | khá-rag-ma} functions as the object, localized by two prepositional phrases with epi {ἐπὶ | epí}: first governing the genitive tēs cheiros autōn tēs dexias {τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν τῆς δεξιᾶς | tês khei-rós autôn tês de-xi-âs} “on their right hand,” then the accusative to metopon autōn {τὸ μέτωπον αὐτῶν | tò mé-tō-pon autôn} “on their forehead.” The parallelism of epi and autōn binds these locations as alternative sites of the one compulsory marking.
In context — Revelation 13:16
And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves , so that they receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead.
