Ἑλληνίδων : the term relates to the men as well as to the women the Jewish men had already been included in the first word πολλοί, see Alford, Weiss, Wendt, Zöckler. εὐσχημόνων, see above on Acts 13:50. Blass refers the term to ἀνδρῶν also, and points out that Sopater of Berœa alone in Acts is named πατρόθεν according to Greek custom, cf. Acts 20:4 (R.V., W.H [308], Weiss, Wendt). See also Orr, Neglected Factors in the Early Progress of Christianity, p. 107.
