    In Revelation 18:14, λιπαρὰ is a nominative plural neuter adjective within the items said to have perished and no longer be found. The APB renders the surrounding clause, "and all the rich and the shining perished from you," but its wording cannot isolate the adjective's exact English counterpart.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Revelation 18:14, the APB includes "the rich and the shining" among what perished, but as a whole-verse translation it does not determine which English word corresponds specifically to λιπαρὰ.
