Is there any difference at all between a TAFOS and a MNHMEION? Matthew
alone uses the former for the tomb of Jesus; the other Gospels use the
latter term. Does TAFOS emphasise more the burial than MHMEION which has
memorial/remembrance connotations? I know that TAFOS can refer to the stone
in front of the grave.
Thanks for any response,
