STRONGS NT 2946: κύλισμακύλισμα,
κυλισματος,
τό (
κυλίω, which see),
thing rolled: with epexegetical genitive
βορβόρου, rolled (wallowed) mud or mire,
2 Peter 2:22 (
R G L Tr marginal reading). The great majority take the word to mean 'wallowing-place', as if it were the same as
κυλίστρα (
Vulg.in volutabro luti). But just as
τό ἐξέραμα signifies
the vomit, thing vomited, and not the place of vomiting; so
τό κύλισμα denotes nothing else than
the thing rolled or wallowed. But see (the following word, and)
βόρβορος.
