Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

κατακλείω. The construction of this verb with the simple dat. (Ac 2610 TR) and with ἐν (Lk 32°) in similar connexions may be illustrated from P Amh II. 804 (a.p. 232-3) λογιστηρίῳ κατακλεισθείς and P Tebt 11. 4207 (iii/A.p.) ἐπὶ γὰρ κατάκλειστός ἦμι μέχρι σήμερο (/. —ov) ἐν τῷ λογιστηρίῳ, “for I have been shut up in the finance-office until to-day ” (Edd.). See also Sy// 5401°§ (B.C. 175-1) αὐτῶι λί[θος οὐδεὶς] κατακλεισθήσεται and OG/S 66917 (i/A.D.) μηιδ᾽ (Δ μηδ᾽) ὅλως κατακλείεσθαί τινας ἐλευθέρους εἰς φυλακὴν ἡντινοῦν. The act. aor. is found in an obscure context in P Lond 4295} (c. A.D. 350) (= 11. p. 315) and the pass. in CP Herm I. 6* κατεκλεί[σθ]η. The subst. κατακλείς is used of canal-locks in P Petr II. 13(18a)* (B.c. 258-3) περὶ τοῦ πρὸς ταῖς κατακλεῖσιν τόπου, ‘concerning the plate at the locks ’’ (Ed.).
