  1. Person addressed about a fruitless fig tree · dominant

    In Luke 13:7, the accusative singular masculine form names the person to whom the speaker directs the command concerning the fig tree. The APB renders the clause, "He said to the vine-worker," before the order to cut down the tree that has produced no fruit.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 13:7, the APB presents the term as "vine-worker" in the clause introducing the person addressed. This reflects the clause's presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
