Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐντυλίσσω [page 219] ἐντυλίσσω is found in the magic P Lond 121 .826 (iii/A.D.) (= I. p. 110) ἐντύλισσε τὰ φύλ (λα ) ἐν σουδαρίῳ κενῷ ( l. καινῷ ), a passage which strangely recalls Joh_20:7 : cf. also Mat_27:59 , Luk_23:53 , where ἐντυλίσσω is substituted for the Markan ἐνειλέω ( Mar_15:46 ). Abbott ( Joh. Voc. p. 346) suggests that Matthew and Luke may have objected to the word (especially when applied, as by Mark, not to body but to him ) as being unseemly, because it is used of fettering prisoners, swathing children hand and foot, holding people fast in a net, entangling them in evil or in debt, and generally in a bad sense. See s.v. ἐνειλέω . In P Lond 402 verso .15 (ii/B.C.) (= II. p. 11) we find mention of an ἐριᾶ (ἐρεᾶ ) ἐντύλη , by which the editor understands a woollen wrapper or rug : the word is new to LS .8 .
