Notes: In OET ACT 19:9 it is better to use a translation such as ‘lecture hall’ rather than ‘school,’ since one does not wish to give the impression of the typical classroom situation characteristic of present-day schools. One may translate the relevant context of OET ACT 19:9 as ‘every day Paul discussed with people in the lecture hall which belonged to Tyrannus’ or ‘… in a hall where Tyrannus often taught’ or ‘… lectured.’
