   The name identifies a man chosen and sent with Judas in Acts 15:22 and Acts 15:27, then chosen by Paul in Acts 15:40. In Acts 16:25 the nominative form names him beside Paul while they pray and sing; in Acts 17:14 it names him among those who remained, and Acts 18:5 names him as arriving with Timothy. The accusative and dative forms occur where the clause places him with Paul as an object or recipient of an action, as in Acts 16:19, Acts 16:29, Acts 17:4, Acts 17:10, and Acts 17:15.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB presents the name as “Silas,” usually alongside Paul and at times alongside Judas or Timothy. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, it confirms the named participant in each clause without supplying a separate lexical rendering beyond the name.
