Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐντυλίσσω is found in the magic P Lond 121535 (iii/A.p.) (= I. p. 110) ἐντύλισσε τὰ φύλ(λα) ἐν σουδαρίῳ kevw (1. καινῷ), a passage which strangely recalls Jn 207: cf. also Mt 275%, Lk 2355, where ἐντυλίσσω is substituted for the Markan ἐνειλέω (Mk 1585). 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'® (ii/B.c.) (ΞΞ 11. 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.
