Apographe denotes an official enumeration mentioned as an event with a stated historical setting.

The two occurrences present apographē as an enumeration treated as a public event: Luke 2:2 identifies one by its place and governing context, while Acts 5:37 dates Judas the Galilean's uprising to its days.

1. Public enumeration as a dated event · dominant

   In Luke 2:2, the nominative singular form stands in the statement identifying the first such event while Quirinius was governing Syria; the APB renders the verse with “This was the first census.” In Acts 5:37, the genitive singular form occurs in the phrase locating Judas the Galilean's rise “in the days of the census,” as the APB renders the clause.

   Luke 2:2Acts 5:37

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “census” in both verses: as the event identified in Luke 2:2 and as the time-setting phrase in Acts 5:37. This reflects the clauses' presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
