Exegesis
The genitive phrase tōn te sebomenōn Hellēnōn {τῶν τε σεβομένων Ἑλλήνων | tôn te se-bo-me-nōn Hel-lē-nōn} identifies “God-revering Greeks,” a conventional label for Gentile adherents attached to the synagogue, with te linking them closely to the previous group.
In context — Acts 17:4
And some of them were persuaded and were joined to Paul and Silas, along with a great multitude of the worshipping Greeks and not a few of the leading women.
