The form Οὐκοῦν is tagged as a conjunction in John 18:37, where Pilate responds to Jesus with a question about kingship; the APB renders the response, “So you are a king.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In John 18:37, the APB presents Pilate’s response with “So” before his question. This only indicates the clause’s inferred connection.
