In Luke 8:29, the dative plural form occurs in the statement that the man was bound with chains and fetters; the APB renders the clause "he was bound with chains and fetters." In Mark 5:4, the same dative plural form appears in a report of repeated binding, and the APB renders the fetters as having been broken after the chains were torn apart.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "fetters" in both cited verses, placing them with "chains" and describing them as broken or torn. This presentation confirms the clause-level setting rather than isolating each occurrence precisely.
