κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν ἐκεῖνον, about that time. This is better than A.V. ‘the same time,’ and there is some gain in accuracy of rendering of these connecting phrases. The literal rendering allows of the lapse of some period between the action of the converts in burning their magic books, and the uproar of the silversmiths. No doubt one movement was in part, but need not have been entirely, a consequence of the other, and the A.V. connects them more closely than is done by the original.

περὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ, about the Way. See above on Acts 19:9.
