Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐνταφιάζω. On the use of the corresponding subst. ἐνταφιαστής in LXX Gen 50? to describe the Egyptian physicians who embalmed the body of Jacob, see Deissmann AS p. 120f., where the professional designation is illustrated from P Par 75 (B.C. 99). It occurs again in P Oxy III. 4768 (ii/A.p), the report of two ἐνταφιασταί who had been commissioned to examine a dead body—an indication, as Lumbroso has pointed out (Archzv iii. p. 163 f.), that the ἐνταφιασταί were trained physicians, and able to conduct the work not only of embalming but of autopsy : cf. also Archzv v. p. 26 f. and Otto Przester il. p. 195n1. The mummy-tablet Prezszoke 25 is inscribed τῷ Πανεχάτῃ ἐνταφιαστῇ, similarly 76. 3442. The verb is found in Zest. xzz. pfatr. Jud. xxvi. 3 (ed. Charles) μηδείς pe ἐνταφιάσει ἐν πολυτελεῖ ἐσθῆτι.
