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.
