In Luke 9:14, κλισίας is an accusative plural feminine noun in the instruction for the disciples to arrange the large crowd. The APB renders the clause, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each," confirming a division of those present into ordered groups.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 9:14, the APB presents the term within the instruction to sit "in groups of about fifty each." This reflects the clause's overall presentation rather than an exact token-by-token rendering.
