Exegesis
The next segment introduces another group by the genitive Thessalonikeōn {Θεσσαλονικέων | Thes-sa-lo-ni-ké-ōn} ‘of the Thessalonians’, from which the coordinated nominatives Aristarchos {Ἀρίσταρχος | A-rís-tar-khos} and Sekoundos {Σεκοῦνδος | Se-koûn-dos} are drawn, signaled by de {δὲ | dè} as a mild topic shift.
In context — Acts 20:4
And Sopater son of Pyrrhus, a Berean, was accompanying him; and from among the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy, and from Asia , Tychicus and Trophimus.
