Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐνταφιασμός [page 217]
With Joh_12:7 we may compare a striking passage from Philodemus de morte ed. Meckler, p. 49, 17 : vir sapiens εὐθὺς ἤδη τὸ λοιπὸν ἐνταφιασάμενος (quasi) περιπατεῖ καὶ τὴν μίαν ἡμέραν ὡς αἰῶνα κερδαίνει (cited Herwerden Lex. s.v . ἐνταφιάζειν ). In Jn l.c. the word should be translated not burying (as AV, RV), but laying out or preparation for burial : see further on the passage Field Notes , p. 98.
