Senses in use

  1. Personal name in narrative references · dominant

    In Acts 11:28, the genitive singular masculine form occurs in the statement that the famine took place upon Claudius; in Acts 18:2, the accusative singular masculine form occurs as the one who ordered Jews to depart from Rome. In Acts 23:26, the nominative singular masculine form begins the letter heading, which the APB renders “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greetings.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Claudius” in Acts 11:28 and Acts 18:2, and as part of “Claudius Lysias” in Acts 23:26. It does not by itself determine the term's precise contribution in each clause.
