Thank you for the quick response and the examples.  Will get the protocol right this time - was rushing it on my first use of B-Greek.

PS - Dug into a DB of journals, and found a good definition of inclusio in David J. MacLeod, "The Literary Structure of the Book of Hebrews," Bibliotheca Sacra, April 1989, 185-197.  He also discusses other literary devices (e.g. hook words, chiasmus, repeating themes) in in the OT and NT.
