Exegesis
Proseklērōthēsan {προσεκληρώθησαν | pro-se-klē-rō-thē-san} 'they were joined' is likewise aorist passive, and its compound form (with pros-) suggests being added or assigned into close association, so the clause moves from inner persuasion to outward incorporation with the missionaries.
Root and etymology
klēr-kappa–lambda–eta–rho
“lot, allotted share”
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.
