ἐγκομβ-όομαι,

I Med., (κόμβος) bind a thing on oneself, wear it constantly, Apollod.Car. 4, 1 Peter 5:5.

II Pass., = δέομαι, ἐνειλοῦμαι (Hsch.), Epich. 7.

Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἐγκομβωμαι (see ἐν, III. 3), ἐγκομβοῦμαι: (1 aorist middle ἐνεκομβωσαμην); (from ἐν and κομβόω, to knot, tie, and this from κομβος, knot, band (German Schleife), by which two things are fastened together), to fasten or gird on oneself; the ἐγκομβωμα was the white scarf or apron of slaves, which was fastened to the girdle of the vest (ἐξωμίς), and distinguished slaves from freemen; hence, 1 Peter 5:5, τήν ταπεινοφροσύνην ἐγκομβώσασθε, gird yourselves with humility as your servile garb (ἐγκομβωμα) i. e. by putting on humility show your subjection one to another. That this idea lies in the phrase is shown by C. F. A. Fritzsche, with his usual learning, in Fritzschiorum Opuscc., p. 259ff.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

We have found no instance of this rare verb (1 Peter 5:5) in our sources. Suidas (Lex. s.v.) cites a passage from Apollodorus of Carystus, a comic poet of iv/B.C., where the meaning apparently is ";gird something on oneself"; : cf. MGr κομβόω = ";button."; For an interesting, though, it seems to us, doubtful interpretation of the Petrine passage, see Bigg ICC ad l.
