a. to shut up together, enclose (so under the word σύν, II. 2; but others (e. g. Fritzsche as below Meyer on Gal 3:22) would make the συν( always intensive, as in b.): a shoal of fishes in a net, Luk 5:6.

b. to shup up on all sides, shut up completely; τινα εἰς τινα or τί, so to deliver one up to the power of a person or thing that he is completely shut in, as it were, without means of escape: τινα εἰς ἀπείθειαν, Rom 11:32 (εἰς ἀγῶνα, Polybius 3, 63, 3; εἰς τοιαύτην ἀμηχανιαν συγκλεισθεις Ἀντιγονος μετεμελετο, Diodorus 19, 19; οὐ συνέκλεισάς με εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθροῦ, Psa 30:9 (); τά κτήνη εἰς θάνατον, Psalm 77:50 (); cf. Fritzsche, Ep. ad Romans, ii., p. 545f); also τινα ὑπό τί, under the power of anything, i. e. so that he is held completely subject to it: ὑπό ἁμαρτίαν, Gal 3:22 (the Scripture has shut up or subjected, i. e. declared them to be subject); namely, ὑπό νόμον, with the addition of εἰς τήν μέλλουσαν πίστιν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι, Gal 3:23 (see above at the beginning); on these words see εἰς, B. II. 3 c. γ., p. 185{a} bottom.
