   In Acts 27:11, the dative singular masculine form occurs in the centurion's preference for the pilot and the ship-owner over Paul’s words; the APB renders the clause "the pilot and the ship-owner." In Revelation 18:17, the nominative singular masculine form heads a group that includes those sailing on the sea, sailors, and workers of the sea; the APB renders "every captain."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "pilot" in Acts 27:11 and "captain" in Revelation 18:17. These renderings confirm the ship-related setting without establishing a finer distinction.
