 Dear Stuart,

 The only commentator accessible to me here that mentions ANAKULIEIN at
 Mark 16:4 is HB Swete in his /The Gospel According to Mark/ (Greek Text),
 Macmillan, London, 3rd Ed. 1920, page 396.
 "... The change from APOKULIEIN to the rarer and more difficult ANAKULIEIN
 is evidence for Mark's care for accuracy in detail; the stone was not
 rolled right away, but rolled back so as to leave the opening free; cf
 Ev. Petr. [Gospel of Peter] 9  hO DE LIQOS ... AF' hEAUTOU KULISQEIS
 EPEXWRHSE PARA MEROS, KAI hO TAFOS HNOIGH. The Perf., as in 15:44, 47, adds
 to the vividness of the narrative: we hear the women exclaim 'ANAKEKULISTAI
 -- their TIS 'APOKULISAI? has been answered, and their wish, idle as it had
 seemed, is realised. ...".
