Notes: The rendering of διακατηλέγχετο in RV ACT 18:28 · LV ACT 18:28 · Read together ACT 18:28 provides the verbal correspondences ‘he … refuted … in … debate.’ The term δημοσίᾳ indicates that the debates took place in public so that everyone could know or did know what was said and proven. It is, of course, possible to understand δημοσίᾳ only in the sense of ‘public setting,’ but in RV ACT 18:28 · LV ACT 18:28 · Read together ACT 18:28 something more than mere setting seems to be implied.
