   As we have seen, a mutually reinforcing synthesis between preexisting Greek cultural views of the prepuce and Greek reactions to the anti-preputial practices of certain Near Eastern peoples who had been incorporated into the Seleucid and Roman empires converges in a single medical concept: lipodermos (λιποδερμος, or, alternatively, λειποδερμος) literally, "lacking skin"—the pathological disorder of the penis whose symptom was an artificially or congenitally externalized glans penis.
