RBT Translation:

Cyrene the Huntress: "a champion in the leafy forest with lionslaying hands" (Nonnus, Dionysiaca 25. 180 ff)

And certain ones stood up from out of the Assembly, the one who is being called Freedmen ("Libertinos") and Cyrenians and Men-Repellers ("Alexandrians") and the ones away from Coarse Goat Cloth ("Cilicia")²⁴ and Titaness ("Asias"), those who are jointly investigating with the Wreathed ("Stephen").

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And certain of them arose from the synagogue, called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrian, and of them from Cilicia and Asia, seeking out with Stephen.

LITV Translation:
But some of those of the synagogue called Libertines, rose up, also some Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some of those from Cilicia and Asia Minor, disputing with Stephen.

Brutal Cilicians

Κιλικία — Originally the name of a region in southeastern Asia Minor, Κιλικία (cf. Κῐλῐκ-ιον, τό) came to designate a coarse cloth, strictly made of Cilician goat’s hair (Procopius Pers. 2.26; PLond. 3.1164h10, 3rd c. A.D.). This material was used for practical purposes such as sails or mats to deaden missile impacts (Lat. cilicium). By extension, the adjective-derived verbs Κῐλῐκ-ίζω and Κῐλῐκ-ίζομαι (“to play the Cilician”) came to signify cruel, treacherous, or violent behavior, reflecting the region’s reputation in Greek literature for drunken butchery (Κῐλῐκ-ισμός, Theopomp. Hist. 289a). Thus, the term shifts from a literal description of a coarse material to a metaphorical characterization of brutal conduct.
