Diktuon denotes fishing gear cast, lowered, washed, mended, dragged, or left behind in accounts of catching fish.

The term consistently denotes fishing gear in scenes of boat-based fishing: it is washed and mended, let down or cast for a catch, and later dragged or hauled in full of fish. Both plural and singular forms occur without showing a distinct use.

   In Luke 5:2, Luke 5:4, and Luke 5:5, the plural form occurs as fishermen wash it and are told to let it down for a catch. In John 21:6, John 21:8, and John 21:11, the singular form is cast from a boat, dragged full of fish, and hauled ashore; the APB renders these clauses with “net.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the term as “net” or “nets” in fishing actions such as washing, mending, casting, lowering, dragging, and hauling. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these renderings confirm the scene without defining every grammatical contribution.
