Bede, on Acts 12:21

“And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.”

“And he sat on the tribunal and preached to them. On the tribunal, he says in the tribunal. It is a custom of the Latin language to use 'pro' to mean 'in' with this word.”
