1The silversmiths’ riot
Demetrius, a silversmith who made shrines of Artemis, stirred up the craftsmen against Paul. The city filled with confusion, and the crowd seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s Macedonian companions in travel, and rushed into the theater, shouting for about two hours until the town clerk quieted them.
