29The cityG4172 was filledG4092 with the confusionG4799, and they rushedG3729 togetherG3661 into the theaterG2302, draggingG4884 alongG4884 1GaiusG1050 and 2AristarchusG708, Paul’sG3972 3MacedonianG3110 travelingG4898 4companionsG4898. 30And when PaulG3972 wantedG1014 to goG1525 into the assemblyG1218, 5the disciplesG3101 would not letG1439 him. 31AlsoG2532 someG5100 of the 6AsiarchsG775 who were friendsG5384 of his sentG3992 word to him and repeatedly urgedG3870 him not to 7ventureG1325G1438 into the theaterG2302. 328SoG3767 thenG3767, someG243 were shoutingG2896 oneG3303 thing and someG243 anotherG243, for the 9assemblyG1577 was inG4797 confusionG4797 and the majorityG4183 did not knowG3609 10for whatG5101 reasonG1752 they had comeG4905 togetherG4905. 33Some of the crowdG3793 11concludedG4822 it was AlexanderG223, since the JewsG2453 had putG4261 him forwardG4261; and having 12motionedG2678 with his handG5495, AlexanderG223 was intendingG2309 to makeG626 aG626 defenseG626 to the assemblyG1218. 34But when they recognizedG1921 that he was a JewG2453, a singleG1520 outcryG5456 aroseG1096 from them allG3956 as they shoutedG2896 for aboutG5613 twoG1417 hoursG5610, “GreatG3173 is 13ArtemisG735 of the EphesiansG2180!”
35After quietingG2687 the crowdG3793, the townG1122 clerkG1122 saidG5346, “MenG435 of 14EphesusG2181, whatG5101 personG444 is there afterG1063 allG1063 whoG3739 does not knowG1097 that the cityG4172 of the EphesiansG2180 is guardianG3511 ofG3511 theG3511 templeG3511 of the greatG3173 15ArtemisG735 and of the image whichG1356 fellG1356 downG1356 fromG1356 16theG1356 skyG1356? 36SoG3767, since theseG3778 are undeniableG368 facts, you oughtG1189 to keepG5225 calmG2687 and to doG4238 nothingG3367 rashG4312. 37For you have broughtG71 theseG3778 menG435 here who are neitherG3777 17templeG2417 robbersG2417 norG3777 blasphemersG987 of our goddessG2299. 38SoG3767 thenG3767, ifG1487 DemetriusG1216 and the craftsmenG5079 who are with him haveG2192 a complaintG3056 againstG4314 anyoneG5100, the courtsG60 are inG71 sessionG71 and 1819proconsulsG446 are available; have them bringG1458 chargesG1458 againstG1458 oneG240 anotherG240. 39But ifG1487 you wantG1934 anythingG5100 beyondG4007 this, it shall be settledG1956 in the 20lawfulG1772 21assemblyG1577. 40For indeedG2532, we areG2793 inG2793 dangerG2793 of being accusedG1458 of a riotG4714 inG4012 connectionG4012 withG4012 today’sG4594 events, since there is noG3367 real reasonG159 for it, and inG4012 thisG3739 connectionG4012 we will be unableG3756G1410 to accountG3056G591 for thisG3778 disorderlyG4963 gatheringG4963.”
