Demetrius » A silversmith, noted for raising a riot
For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making the silver temples of Diana, furnished no little work to artificers; Whom having collected together and the workmen of such things, he said, Men, ye know that out of this work is our good food. And ye see and hear that not only Ephesus, but almost all Asia, this Paul having persuaded, changed a sufficient crowd, saying, that they are not gods made by hands: read more.
And not only this part is in danger to us to come to reproach; but also the temple of the great goddess Diana to be reckoned for nothing, and her greatness also about to be destroyed, whom the whole of Asia and the habitable globe worship. And having heard, and been filled with wrath, they cried, saying, Great the Diana of the Ephesians. And the whole city was filled With confusion, and they rushed unanimously into the theatre, having taken away together Gains and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's companions of the journey. And Paul wishing to come in to the people, the disciples suffered him not. And certain also of the chief of Asia, being friends to him, having sent to him, besought not to give himself into the theatre. Others truly cried some other things: for the church was confused; and the most knew not for what they had come together. And they forced Alexander out of the crowd, the Jews having put him forward. And Alexander having shaken the hand, wished to justify himself to the people. And having known that he is a Jew, there was one voice from all crying for about two hours, Great the Diana of the Ephesians. And the scribe having calmed the crowd, says, Men, Ephesians, for who is the man that knows not the city of the Ephesians, being templekeeper of the great goddess Diana, and sent by Jove? Therefore these things not being refuted, it is necessary for you to be restrained, and to do nothing rash. For ye brought these men not sacrilegious, nor blaspheming your goddess. If truly therefore Demetrius, and the artificers with him, have a word against any, the court days are kept, and there are proconsuls; let them prosecute one another.
