Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en Lýstrois kaí Ikoníō {ἐν Λύστροις καὶ Ἰκονίῳ | en Lýstrois kaí Ikoníō} ‘in Lystra and in Iconium’ situates the scope of this testimony geographically. English prefers a finite clause with an explicit subject, so the relative clause is rendered as a main clause with “The brothers” or “The believers,” and the passive is smoothed into idiomatic expressions of commendation.
In context — Acts 16:2
The brothers in Lystra and in Iconium spoke well of him.
