From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Demetrius       (1.) A silversmith at Ephesus, whose chief occupation was to       make "silver shrines for Diana" (q.v.), Acts 19:24,i.e., models       either of the temple of Diana or of the statue of the goddess.       This trade brought to him and his fellow-craftsmen "no small       gain," for these shrines found a ready sale among the countless       thousands who came to this temple from all parts of Asia Minor.       This traffic was greatly endangered by the progress of the       gospel, and hence Demetrius excited the tradesmen employed in       the manufacture of these shrines, and caused so great a tumult       that "the whole city was filled with confusion."                (2.) A Christian who is spoken of as having "a good report of       all men, and of the truth itself" (3 John 1:12).
