agoraios describes what is connected with the marketplace, including men gathered there and a setting named in legal proceedings.

The attested uses describe a marketplace-related connection: Acts 17:5 identifies men taken from that setting, while Acts 19:38 uses the adjective in a clause the APB renders with courts and accusation.

Senses in use

  1. Marketplace-related people or setting · dominant

    In Acts 17:5, the genitive plural masculine form occurs where the APB renders men taken “from the marketplace” to form a mob. In Acts 19:38, the nominative plural feminine form appears in the clause the APB renders “courts are held”; the translation does not make this term's specific English contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 17:5 the APB explicitly includes “from the marketplace.” In Acts 19:38 it renders the surrounding clause as “courts are held,” so the adjective's individual rendering cannot be isolated from the translation.
