Tiberius in a reign-dating clause · dominant
The genitive singular masculine form occurs in the clause that dates events by the fifteenth year of a reign. In Luke 3:1 the APB renders the setting as "In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar," before naming other governing figures.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 3:1, the APB presents the name in the phrase "the reign of Tiberius Caesar." The supplied verse does not isolate its contribution beyond that naming clause.
