52.8 · Funerals and Burial
to bury together with to bury someone along with someone else In ROM 6:4 συνθάπτω is used figuratively, since it evidently had not yet acquired a conventional figurative meaning. In a number of languages it is necessary to mark this figurative usage by means of a simile, for example, ‘we were, so to speak, buried with him.’

Thayer's Greek Lexicon
συνθάπτω: 2 aor. pass. συνετάφην ; fr. Aeschyl. and Hdt. down; to bury together with: τῷ Χριστῷ, together with Christ, pass., διὰ τοῦ βαπτίσματος εἰς τὸν θάνατον se. αὐτοῦ, Ro. vi. 4: ἐν τῷ βαπτίσματι, Col. ii. 12. For all who in the rite of baptism are plunged under the water, thereby declare that they put faith in the expiatory death of Christ for the pardon of their past sins; therefore Paul likens baptism to a burial by which the former sinfulness is buried, i. e. utterly taken away.
