In Galatians 4:2, the accusative plural occurs in the statement that an heir remains under designated persons until the father's set time; the APB renders the surrounding clause "under guardians and stewards." In Matthew 20:8, the dative singular is the person addressed by the vineyard's lord to call and pay the workers, while Luke 8:3 uses the genitive singular in Chuza's designation within Herod's household.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents these contexts with "guardians and stewards" in Galatians 4:2 and "manager" in Matthew 20:8 and Luke 8:3. These renderings confirm the supervisory settings rather than defining each form separately.
