In Revelation 1:11, the accusative singular form occurs in the command to send the scroll to seven assemblies; the APB renders the list with “to Pergamum.” In Revelation 2:12, the dative singular form identifies the assembly's location; the APB renders “the assembly in Pergamum.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Revelation 1:11 and Revelation 2:12, the APB presents the place as “Pergamum,” first in a list of destinations and then in the phrase “the assembly in Pergamum.” The verse is read as a whole.
