Artemis is the named figure associated with silver temples, a sacred place, public acclamation, and the Ephesian city's guardianship.

The occurrences use the name in one consistent setting: silver temples are made for her, her sacred place and majesty are defended, crowds acclaim her, and Ephesus is described as guardian of her temple and image.

    The genitive singular form occurs in clauses about silver temples, a sacred place, and the city's guardianship: in Acts 19:24 the APB renders “silver temples of Artemis,” and in Acts 19:35 it describes Ephesus as “temple guardian of the great Artemis.” The nominative singular form is used in the crowd's repeated cry in Acts 19:28 and Acts 19:34, while Acts 19:27 places her sacred place and majesty within the dispute.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly in each verse, including “silver temples of Artemis,” “great is Artemis of the Ephesians,” and “the great Artemis.” These renderings confirm the verse settings rather than isolate every grammatical contribution of the name.
