Most grammarians will tell you that when a pronoun is used you should look 
for the closest antecedent.  In this case it would require that the 
PEPISTEUKOTAS Jews is that antecedent and therefore the subject of 
APEKRIQHSAN.  As to the idea of "general reply."  I don't know, but don't 
think so.  Probably the best way to take it is as the commentators have.  
;-)

«Or is this just the best example you have met this week of prime 
eisegesis?»

Don't worry, you haven't yet stolen my job!!

See ya',
