Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἐπιγνόντες & ὅτι Ἰουδαῖός ἐστιν,
/having/_recognized & that /a/_Jew ˱he˲_is
It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “recognizing, ‘He is a Jew!’”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
φωνὴ ἐγένετο μία ἐκ πάντων, ὡς & κραζόντων
cry ˱there˲_became one from all about & crying_out
Luke is speaking as if the people in the theater collectively had only one voice. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they all shouted together”
19:23-41 The patron deity of Ephesus was the Greek goddess Artemis. Her birthplace was believed to be Ephesus, so Ephesus was the official guardian of the temple. Twice annually, elaborate festivals were held in her honor with athletic, musical, and theatrical celebrations that included singing Great is Artemis of the Ephesians! The temple of Artemis at Ephesus was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Conversions to Christianity clearly damaged the worship of Artemis and the associated economic activity, but it became clear that Paul and his associates had committed no crime.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
