Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐνκεντρίζω (~ ἐγκεντρίζω ) [page 216]
ἐνκεντρίζω belongs to the higher Κοινή : see the citations in Grimm-Thayer, and cf. Nδgeli, p. 33. As against the view that the process described by Paul in Rom_11:17 is wholly unnatural, and that the strength of his argument depends on this fact (SH ad l. ), see W. M. Ramsay Pauline Studies , p. 219 ff.
