In Revelation 21:20, the nominative singular masculine form σαρδόνυξ occurs within a sequence of stone names. The APB renders the verse as a list beginning, “The fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian,” though its loose wording does not make the term’s individual English correspondence certain.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Revelation 21:20, the APB presents the verse as an ordered list of stones, including “onyx” and “carnelian.” Its exact English rendering of σαρδόνυξ cannot be isolated with certainty.
