In 2 Peter 2:16, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the clause where a mute donkey speaks with a human voice and restrains the prophet; the APB renders the outcome as restraining the prophet's “insanity.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Peter 2:16, the APB presents the term within the clause “restrained the prophet's insanity.” This rendering confirms the verse’s overall portrayal rather than isolating every detail of the Greek noun.
