In Acts 17:18, the nominative singular masculine noun is used in others' assessment of the man who was preaching Jesus and the resurrection; the APB renders the clause, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 17:18, the APB presents the characterization as “a proclaimer of foreign deities.” This wording is treated as the verse's presentation of the clause rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
