Acts 9:25

By the wall [δ ι α τ ο υ τ ε ι χ ο υ ς]. Rev., more accurately, through the wall, as is explained by 2 Corinthians 11:33. Either through the window of a house overhanging the wall, or through a window in the wall itself opening to houses on its inner side. Hackett says that he observed such windows in the wall at Damascus. On the mode of escape, compare Joshua 2:15; 1 Samuel 19:12.

Basket [σ π υ ρ ι δ ι]. See on Matthew 14:20. In Paul's account of this adventure he uses sarganh, a plaited or braided basket of wicker - work; or, as some think, of ropes.
