Exegesis
The subject polloi {πολλοὶ | pol-loí} ‘many’ is further specified by the genitive modifier tōn Samaritōn {τῶν Σαμαριτῶν | tōn Sa-ma-ri-tōn} ‘of the Samaritans,’ forming a partitive construction that identifies many out of the Samaritans as the ones responding.
In context — John 4:39
And from that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who was bearing witness, “He told me all that I did.”
