In Acts 8:2, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in the statement that devout men entombed Stephen; the APB renders the clause, “and made great lamentation upon him.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 8:2 the APB presents the event as men who “made great lamentation upon him.” This identifies the verse’s mourning context rather than a precise isolated rendering.
