The construction of this verb with the simple dat. (Acts 26:10 TR) and with ἐν (Luke 3:20) in similar connexions may be illustrated from P Amh II. 80.4 (A.D. 232–3) λογιστηρίῳ κατακλεισθείς, and P Tebt II. 420.26 (iii/A.D.) ἐπὶ γὰρ κατάκλειστός ἠμι μέχρι σήμερο (l. –ον) ἐν τῷ λογιστηρίῳ, ";for I have been shut up in the finance-office until to-day"; (Edd.). See also Syll 540.158 (B.C. 175–1) αὐτῶι λί [θος οὐδεὶς ] κατακλεισθήσεται and OGIS 669.17 (i/A.D.) μηιδ᾽ (l. μηδ᾽ ὅλως κατακλείεσθαί τινας ἐλευθέρους εἰς φυλακὴν ἡντινοῦν. The act. aor. is found in an obscure context in P Lond 429.51 (c. A.D. 350) (= II. p. 315) and the pass, in CP Herm I. 6.4 κατεκλεί [σθ ]η. The subst. κατακλείς is used of canal-locks in P Petr II. 13(18a).4 (B.C. 258–3) περὶ τοῦ πρὸς ταῖς κατακλεῖσιν τόπου, ";concerning the place at the locks"; (Ed.).
