 I was provided a second example,  Thucydides’  [u]Peloponnesian War[/u] book 7.  [i]entos[/i] is used with the term [i]teichOn[/i], a plural most often meaning “walls”.   The clause translates as “within the walls”.  

Kinda sounds like your Josephus citation.  Regardless, I don't have a clue what it tells us.

I find an instance of ἐντός [ENTOS] in Josephus with a pl noun

Ἄχαβος καὶ τὴν ἄλλην στρατιὰν ἐντὸς τῶν τειχῶν. 
AXABOS KAI THN ALLHN STRATIAN ENTOS TWN TEXWN.
 
Josephus, F., & Niese, B. (1888). Flavii Iosephi opera recognovit Benedictvs 
Niese ... (Ant 8.376). Berolini: apvd Weidmannos.
 
It is a tad unlikely that Josephus is stating that the soldiers were sealed up 
inside a wall but were rather within the limits of the walls.
 
There are quite a number of instances of ἐντός [ENTOS] with a pl noun or pron in 
Philo, but this would take some time to sift.  I think the Josephus example is 
instructive regarding its usage.

I am still involved in a discussion on Luke 17.

Can anyone tell me how often we find the combination? ENTOS + plural? appearing 
in Greek writings (hopefully, involving a group of people) outside the NT about 
the same time as the NT period and how it would/might be translated?
