3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

Concision
   (Gr. katatome; i.e., "mutilation"), a term used by Paul
   contemptuously of those who were zealots for circumcision (Phil.
   3:2). Instead of the warning, "Beware of the circumcision"
   (peritome) i.e., of the party who pressed on Gentile converts
   the necessity of still observing that ordinance, he says,
   "Beware of the concision;" as much as to say, "This circumcision
   which they vaunt of is in Christ only as the gashings and
   mutilations of idolatrous heathen."
