Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi to metopon autes {ἐπὶ τὸ μέτωπον αὐτῆς | epì tò métōpon autês} ‘upon her forehead’ establishes the physical location of the inscription, echoing the broader apocalyptic motif of marks on the forehead that signify allegiance.
In context — Revelation 17:5
And upon her forehead was a name written: “Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the earth.”
