Bernike is the personal name of the woman present with Agrippa in the Acts proceedings.

The attested forms identify the same woman in scenes with Agrippa: arriving to pay respects, entering a hall, and rising with those present.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in public proceedings · dominant

    The nominative form names her as arriving with Agrippa in Acts 25:13 and as rising with the king and those seated with them in Acts 26:30. The genitive form occurs in the arrival scene of Acts 25:23; in Acts 25:23 the APB renders the group as entering the hall with military officers and prominent men.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the three verses, the APB presents the name as “Bernice” alongside Agrippa in arrival, entrance, and departure scenes. These renderings confirm the scene rather than define the name.
