In particular women of rank (ευσχημονων, from ευ and εχω, graceful figure and the honourable standing) as in Acts 13:50 (Mark 15:43). Probably Luke means by implication that the "men" (ανδρων) were also noble Greeks though he does not expressly say so. So then the Jews were more open to the message, the proselytes or God-fearers followed suit, with "not a few" (ουκ ολιγο) real Greeks (both men and women) believing. It was quick and fine work.
