{I adjure thee by God} (horkiz(9320)se ton theon). The demoniac
puts Jesus on oath (two accusatives) after the startled outcry
just like the one in  1:24 , which see. He calls Jesus here "son
of the Most High God" (huie tou theou tou hupsistou) as in  Lu
8:28  (cf.  Ge 14:18f. ). {Torment me not} (m(8820)me basanis(8869)s).
Prohibition with m(885c) and the ingressive aorist subjunctive. The
word means to test metals and then to test one by torture (cf.
our "third degree"). Same word in all three Gospels.
