Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἐνταφιασμός. With Jn 127 we may compare a striking passage from Philodemus de morte ed. Meckler, p. 49, 17: vir sapiens εὐθὺς ἤδη τὸ λοιπὸν ἐνταφιασάμενος (quasi) περιπατεῖ Kal τὴν μίαν ἡμέραν ὡς αἰῶνα κερδαίνει (cited Herwerden 7 6... s.v. ἐνταφιάζειν). In Jn /.c. the word should be translated not “ burying ’’ (as AV, RV), but ‘laying out ” or ‘* preparation for burial” : p- 98. see further on the passage Field /Vores,
