1 Strong's Number: g4489 Greek: rhetor

Orator:

from an obsolete present tense, rheo, "to say" (cp. Eng., "rhetoric"), denotes "a public speaker, an orator," Act 24:1, of Tertullus. Such a person, distinct from the professional lawyer, was hired, as a professional speaker, to make a skillful presentation of a case in court. His training was not legal but rhetorical.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Orator:

(1.) The Authorized Version rendering in Isaiah 3:3 for what is literally "skillful in whisper or incantation."

(2.) The title applied to Tertullus, who appeared as the advocate of the Jewish accusers of St. Paul before Felix (Acts 24:1).
