Exegesis
The comparative particle hōs {ὡς | hōs} introducing esphagmenēn {ἐσφαγμένην | es-phag-mé-nēn} (“as having been slain”) presents the head as appearing slain rather than asserting the fact absolutely, which justifies renderings such as “as though it had been slain” or “seemed fatally wounded.”
In context — Revelation 13:3
And one of his heads was as though it had been slain unto death, and the wound of his death was healed, and all the earth marveled after the beast .
