In Acts 8:2, the aorist active indicative plural form depicts devout men performing the burial of Stephen; the APB renders the clause, "Devout men entombed Stephen and made great lamentation upon him."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 8:2, the APB presents the action as "entombed Stephen." This rendering confirms the verse's burial scene without establishing a finer lexical distinction.
