  1. Prompting someone to make a request · dominant

    In Matthew 14:8, the nominative singular feminine aorist passive participle describes the woman in relation to her mother before she asks for John the baptizer’s head. The APB renders the verse, "Prompted by her mother, she said, Give me here on a platter the head of John the baptizer."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 14:8, the APB presents the clause as "Prompted by her mother." This identifies the verse’s presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
