Exegesis
The indefinite pronoun tines {τινες | tí-nes} 'some' marks partial acceptance among the hearers, while the prepositional phrase ex autōn {ἐξ αὐτῶν | ex autôn} 'from them' specifies that the persuaded group is drawn out of the larger synagogue audience.
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.
