Thomas's attached designation · dominant
The nominative singular masculine form is attached to Thomas in each occurrence. In John 11:16 the APB renders Thomas speaking to his fellow disciples; in John 20:24 it identifies him among the twelve who was absent when Jesus came; and in John 21:2 it includes him in the group gathered together.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form as “the Didymus” in John 11:16 and John 21:2, and as “Didymus” in John 20:24. These renderings confirm its attachment to Thomas without isolating a further lexical nuance.
