Acts 18
#4
"Harness maker", or "Saddle maker" are possible renderings in English of the Aramaic text, where the Aramaic word "lawlara" carries the general meaning of a "worker of rough cloth", and while the word is more specifically rendered "Harness-maker" or "Saddle-maker", the less specific meaning of a "worker of rough cloth" may be how the Greek scribe mistranslated the Aramaic word, interpreting it to mean "booth-maker" or "tent-maker" which we see now translated into English.

To avoid any possible mistake in an English translation, "workers in rough cloth" would be the best choice.
