In Mark 15:46, the aorist active indicative singular form occurs in the sequence of taking him down, wrapping him in linen, and placing him in a tomb; the APB renders the clause "wrapped him in the linen."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Mark 15:46, the APB presents the action as "wrapped him in the linen." This rendering is confirmation of the burial scene rather than a precise lexical equation.
