Exegesis
The predicate adjective gnoston {γνωστὸν | gnōstón} “known” is complemented by the dative chain pasin Ioudaiois te kai Hellesin {πᾶσιν Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησιν | pâ-sin Iou-daí-ois te kaì Héllē-sin}, which distributes the audience across “all the Jews and also the Greeks” and stresses the breadth of awareness.
In context — Acts 19:17
And this became known to all the Jews and also the Greeks living in Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified .
