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?
