* by the head.
   Probably by the beard or hair of the head.  Plutarch, in his
   Apophthegms, informs us, that all things being ready for a
   battle, Alexander's captains asked him whether he had any
   thing else to command them.  "Nothing," said he, "but that the
   Macedonians shave their beards."  Parmenio wondering what he
   meant, "Dost thou not know," said he, "that in fight, there is
   no better hold than the beard?"

 * Helkath-hazzurim.  that is, the field of strong men.
