The acroposthion or akroposthion is the part of the foreskin that hangs beyond the glans penis. Derived from the Greek language, it literally means foreskin tip.

Europe and the Middle East
The original version of the Jewish Brit Milah commanded that the acroposthion would be either ritually nicked or amputated.

After the War of Bar Kokba, around 150 AD, a new version that required the full barring of the glans penis was made mandatory in response to and in order to frustrate foreskin restoration. Rabbinical Jewish leaders, the successors of the newly ideologically dominant Pharisees, introduced and made mandatory a more radical method of circumcision known as the Brit Periah. Without it, circumcision was newly declared to have no spiritual value. This new form removed as much of the inner mucosa as possible, the frenulum and its corresponding delta from the penis, and prevented the movement of shaft skin, in what creates a "low and tight" circumcision.
