    The nominative form identifies him with Priscilla in Acts 18:18 as traveling with Paul, and in Acts 18:26 as among those who heard a synagogue speaker and took him aside to explain the way of God more accurately. The accusative form occurs in greetings in Romans 16:3 and 2 Timothy 4:19; in 1 Corinthians 16:19 the APB renders him as joining Prisca in sending greetings with the assembly according to their house.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the name as “Aquila,” including narrative identification, travel, instruction, greetings, and a house assembly. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolating every contribution of the Greek form.
