The forms mark the named individual through changing clause roles: the nominative form is the subject in Acts 8:3, where the APB renders that he was ravaging the assembly, while the accusative form is the person sought in Acts 9:11. In Acts 13:9, the nominative form introduces the clause the APB renders, “Then Saul, who is also called Paul,” and in Acts 9:24 the dative form marks the person to whom the plot became known.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the term as the personal name “Saul” across these verses. In Acts 13:9 it adds “who is also called Paul,”.
