John Chrysostom : Rightly does the grammarian say, "Who is ignorant of the city of the Ephesians?" … He does not say "Who does not know Artemis?" but "Who does not know your city?" which is what they were worshiping: … they were trying to make their faith a pretext for making money. — CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 19.35 John Chrysostom : "And when the town clerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?" As if the thing were not palpable. With this saying first he extinguished their wrath. "And of the Diopetes." There was another sacred object that was so called. Either he means the piece of burnt earth or her image. — Homily on Acts 42 John Chrysostom : Well, and with rebuke does the town clerk say, "What man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians-" coming to the point which they were frightened about. Is it this, says he, that ye do not worship her? And he does not say, "That knoweth not" Diana, but, "our city," that it always worshipped her. — Homily on Acts 42 Oecumenius : The scribe shows how great the superstition of the Ephesians was, both in adorning the temple of Artemis and in honoring her image, which they and the Diopetes said to be fallen from Zeus. For they all called that shell the Diopetes, sent from heaven by Zeus, either a fallen statue that had come down from the sky, or the Palladium, as the Greeks invented in order to astonish the more gullible, which they supposed to have been fashioned from above by Zeus and not by humans. [AMMONIUS] — Commentary on Acts Oecumenius : The Diopetes, of the temple of Zeus, that is, the round-shaped one. Or it was likewise called another sanctuary among them. But instead of "temple-keeper" [Νεωκόρον] he says "temple-servant" [ἱερόδουλόν]; to "sweep" is the act of cleansing, from which also temple-keeper, the one who tends the temple, is so called, that is, he who sweeps the temple.
