And Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defence to the people. ³⁴ But when they recognized that he was a Jew, they all cried out with one voice for about two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. ³⁵ And when the town clerk had calmed the people, he said, Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the guardian of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from heaven? ³⁶ Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash. ³⁷ For you have brought here these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of our goddess. ³⁸ Therefore, if Demetrius, and the craftsmen who are with him, have a complaint against any man, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls: let them bring charges against one another. ³⁹ But if you require anything beyond this, it shall be settled in the regular assembly. ⁴⁰ For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause we can give to justify this disorder. ⁴¹ And when he had spoken thus, he dismissed the assembly.
