Footnotes
- 72 Grk “he”; the referent (Herod) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Herod was Herod Agrippa I, the grandson of Herod I (Herod the Great).
- 73 Or “apparel.” On Herod’s robes see Josephus, 19.8.2 (19.344), summarized in the note at the end of v. 23.
- 74 Although βῆμα 3 gives the meaning “speaker’s platform” for this verse, and a number of modern translations use similar terms (“rostrum,” ; “platform,” ), since the bema was a standard feature in Greco-Roman cities of the time, there is no need for an alternative translation here. The judgment seat (βῆμα, bēma) was a raised platform mounted by steps and sometimes furnished with a seat, used by officials in addressing an assembly or making pronouncements, often on judicial matters. The judgment seat was a familiar item in Greco-Roman culture, often located in the agora, the public square or marketplace in the center of a city.
- 75 Or “delivered a public address.”
