{To the street} (epi t(886e) rhum(886e)). See on 烊u 14:21|. A run
way (from 
he(935c), to run) between the houses. So were the narrow
lanes or alleys called streets and finally in later Greek the
word is applied to streets even when broad. {Straight}
(eutheian). Most of the city lanes were crooked like the
streets of Boston (old cow-paths, people say), but this one still
runs "in a direct line from the eastern to the western gate of
the city" (Vincent). Since the ancients usually rebuilt on the
same sites, it is probable that the line of the street of that
name today is the same, though the actual level has been much
raised. Hence the identification of the house of Ananias and the
house of Judas are very precarious.
