Thayer's Greek Lexicon
κύλισμα, κυλισματος, τό (κυλίω, which see), thing rolled: with epexegetical genitive βορβόρου, rolled (wallowed) mud or mire, 2Pe 2:22 (R G L Tr marginal reading). The great majority take the word to mean ’wallowing-place’, as if it were the same as κυλίστρα (Vulg.in volutabro luti). But just as τό ἐξέραμα signifies the vomit, thing vomited, and not the place of vomiting; so τό κύλισμα denotes nothing else than the thing rolled or wallowed. But see (the following word, and) βόρβορος.
STRONGS NT 2946: κυλισμόςκυλισμός, κυλισμου, ὁ, equivalent to κυλισις, a rolling, wallowing (Hippiatr., p. 204, 4; (cf. Pro 2:18 Theod.)): εἰς κυλισμμον βορβόρου, to a rolling of itself in mud (to wallowing in the mire), 2Pe 2:22 T Tr text WH. See the preceding word.
