nardos denotes the valuable nard ointment used to anoint Jesus in the two attested scenes.

The two attested uses place the genitive singular form in descriptions of pure, valuable nard ointment: it is used to anoint Jesus’ feet in John 12:3 and poured on his head in Mark 14:3.

   In John 12:3, the genitive singular form occurs in the phrase describing the ointment Mary uses on Jesus’ feet; the APB renders the scene as “pure, valuable nard ointment” and says that its fragrance fills the house. In Mark 14:3, the same form describes the ointment in an alabaster jar that a woman breaks and pours on his head; the APB again renders “pure and valuable nard ointment.”

   John 12:3Mark 14:3

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across John 12:3 and Mark 14:3, the APB presents the term within “nard ointment,” calling it pure and valuable. That wording identifies the verse-level presentation rather than isolating a precise English equivalent for the form.
