Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
σκηνοποιός in Biblical Greek is confined to Ac 188, but for the verb σκηνοποιέω see Sm Isai 13°°, 221°, and for the subst. σκηνοmola see Aq Deut 311°. In view of these passages there seems to be no reason to question the ordinary rendering “*tentmaker’”’ in Ac /.c., but for explanations as to how the alternatives ‘‘landscape-painter” and ‘‘shoemaker”’ may have arisen, see notes by Ramsay and Nestle in Ax TJ viii. pp. 109, 153f., 286.
