Greek Commentary for Mark 6:23
The girl was of marriageable age though called κορασιον korasion (cf. Esther 2:9). Salome was afterward married to Philip the Tetrarch. The swaggering oath to the half of the kingdom reminds one of Esther 5:3., the same oath made to Esther by Ahasuerus. [source]

Present (vivid dramatic) active indicative of βλεπω blepō days and a half Accusative of extent of time. ημισυ Hēmisu is neuter singular though ημερας hēmeras (days) is feminine as in Mark 6:23; Revelation 12:14. The days of the gloating over the dead bodies are as many as the years of the prophesying by the witnesses (Revelation 11:3), but there is no necessary correspondence (day for a year). This delight of the spectators “is represented as at once fiendish and childish” (Swete).Suffer not (ουκ απιουσιν ouk aphiousin). Present active indicative of απιω aphiō late form for απιημι aphiēmi as in Mark 1:34 (cf. απεις apheis in Revelation 2:20). This use of απιημι aphiēmi with the infinitive is here alone in the Apocalypse, though common elsewhere (John 11:44, John 11:48; John 12:7; John 18:8).Their dead bodies “Their corpses,” plural here, though singular just before and in Revelation 11:8.To be laid in a tomb (τετηναι εις μνημα tethēnai eis mnēma). First aorist passive of τιτημι tithēmi to place. Μνημα Mnēma (old word from μιμνησκω mimnēskō to remind) is a memorial, a monument, a sepulchre, a tomb (Mark 5:3). “In a country where burial regularly took place on the day of death the time of exposure and indignity would be regarded long” (Beckwith). See Tobit 1:18ff. [source]
