Exegesis
The preposition epano {ἐπάνω | e-pá-nō} with the genitive autou {αὐτοῦ | au-toû} depicts the sealing “over him,” emphasizing secure confinement.
In context — Revelation 20:3
And he threw him into the abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years are fulfilled. After these things, he must be released for a short time .
