δαιμονιζομένους
daimonízomai
To be under the influence of a daimon (supernatural spirit), especially to experience effects attributed to indwelling or controlling by such a spirit. Primary context denotes a state in which a person is afflicted, troubled, or overtaken by a daimon, resulting in symptoms such as mental disturbance, abnormal behavior, physical affliction, or loss of self-control. In wider contexts, refers more generally to experiencing the disruptive or altering presence of a daimon, rather than simply 'possession' in later theological terms.
