Exegesis
The verse begins with tines de kai {τινὲς δὲ καὶ | tinès dè kaí}, where the indefinite pronoun introduces “some” as a subset within the wider crowd, and the particles de kai link this clause to the surrounding narrative with a mild adversative and additive force (“but also some”).
In context — Acts 19:31
But some also of the Asiarchs , who were his friends, sent to him and were urging him not to give himself into the theater .
