The accusative singular feminine form occurs in Festus’s loud interruption of Paul’s defense in Acts 26:24. In Acts 26:24 the APB renders the accusation as, “your great learning is driving you insane.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 26:24, the APB presents Festus’s accusation with “driving you insane.” That wording confirms the accusation’s overall sense rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
