In Acts 12:20, the dative plural masculine form occurs in the clause about those with whom the king was quarreling; the APB renders the verse, "Now he was quarreling with the Tyrians and Sidonians," before describing their request for peace.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 12:20, the APB presents the group as "the Tyrians" alongside Sidonians. This rendering is read in light of the verse's whole clause.
