{They were filled with wrath} (genomenoi plereis thumou).
Having become full of wrath. {Cried out} (ekrazon). Inchoative
imperfect, began to cry out and kept it up continuously.
Reiteration was characteristic of the orgiastic exercises. The
Codex Bezae adds after 	humou (wrath): Dramontes eis t(886e)
amphodon (running into the street), which they certainly did
after the speech of Demetrius. {Great is Artemis of the
Ephesians} (Megal(8820)h(8820)Artemis Ephesi(936e)). D (Codex Bezae) omits
h(885c) (the) and makes it read: "Great Artemis of the Ephesians."
This was the usual cry of the votaries in their orgies as the
inscriptions show, an ejaculatory outcry or prayer instead of an
argument as the other MSS. have it. That is vivid and natural
(Ramsay, _Church in the Roman Empire_, pp. 135ff.). Yet on this
occasion the artisans were making an argumentative protest and
plea against Paul. An inscription at Dionysopolis has "Great is
Apollo."
