    The forms mark a count or amount in several clause types: in Acts 23:23 the APB renders preparations for “two hundred soldiers” and “two hundred slingers,” while Acts 27:37 gives the number of persons in the boat. In John 21:8 it occurs with cubits, in John 6:7 and Mark 6:37 with denarii for bread, and in Revelation 11:3 and Revelation 12:6 within the stated number of days.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the quantity explicitly as “two hundred” across the verses, whether counting people, cubits, denarii, or days. These English phrases confirm the verse-level numerical setting rather than isolate every grammatical contribution of the Greek form.
