A very large quantity · dominant
The accusative plural masculine form occurs with guardians in 1 Corinthians 4:15 and with words in 1 Corinthians 14:19; in the latter, the APB renders the contrast as “five words” rather than “ten thousand words.” The genitive plural neuter form occurs with talents in Matthew 18:24, where the APB renders a debtor’s amount as “ten thousand talents.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the large quantity as “myriad” for guardians in 1 Corinthians 4:15 and as “ten thousand” for words and talents in 1 Corinthians 14:19 and Matthew 18:24. These renderings confirm the verses’ quantity language rather than isolate a fixed English equivalent.
