1. Pilate (Pontius Pilatus) — The Roman prefect of Judea (ca. AD 26–36) who presided over the trial and crucifixion of Jesus; a proper noun appearing 55 times across the Gospels, Acts, and 1 Timothy. All occurrences refer to the same historical person regardless of grammatical case. Multilingual transliterations are consistent: spa 'Pilâtos/Pilátos,' hin 'पिलातुस/पीलातुस' (Pilātus), arb 'بِيلَاطُس' (Bīlāṭus), kor '빌라도' (Billado), swa 'Pilato/Pilâtos.' The single genitive occurrence in S74728 ('of Pilate,' used in a temporal or possessive construction) denotes the same referent as the 54 nominative, accusative, and dative occurrences in S74726. There is no semantic distinction to be drawn for proper nouns across case inflections. 55×
