Robbers Of Temples [1]
( ἱερόσυλοι , hierósuloi , "guilty of sacrilege"): A term used by the town clerk of Ephesus ( Acts 19:37 , the King James Version "robbers of churches"). As the temple of Diana (Artemas) had a great treasure-chamber, the offense might not be unknown among them; compare Romans 2:22 .
In 2 Maccabees 4:42 the King James Version the epithet "church-robber" (the Revised Version (British and American) "author of the sacrilege") is applied to Lysimachus (which see).
