Almost all commentators interpret SKHNHPOIOS in Acts 18:3 as "one who
manufactures tents, either by weaving or leather works." As far as I can
determine, the occ. of this word elsewhere mostly refer to the activity of
pitching of tents. Is it possible to understand a similar sense here?
Considering that Corinth has a large transient population, sailors and
athletes who came for the Isthmian Games, it is quite possible that there
could have been an industry in helping these people set up their temporary
dwellings.
