Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene—(see on Luke 23:26); as Lucius, mentioned in Acts 13:1.
spake unto the Grecians—rather, "the Greeks," that is, uncircumcised Gentiles (as the true reading beyond doubt is). The Gospel had, from the first, been preached to "the Grecians" or Greek-speaking Jews, and these "men of Cyprus and Cyrene" were themselves "Grecians." How, then, can we suppose that the historian would note, as something new and singular (Acts 11:22), that some of the dispersed Christians preached to them?
