While Barrett does indeed omit TOIS ADELFOIS in his translation, I suspect that this was something that occurred in the printing process since he states
18. ETI PROSMEINAS suggests the addition of a relatively short stay (hHMERAS hIKANAS is a Lucan expression; cf. 9:23, 43; 27:7; and the use of hIKANOS with other nouns) to the 18 months of v. 11. Paul was not driven out of Corinth. APOTASSESQAI is used only here and at v. 21 (twice in Lk., once in Mk, once in Paul; it is hardly the mark of a source). TOIS ADELFOIS are the members of the church in Corinth.

Parsons & Culy take TOIS ADELFOIS with PROSMEINAS hHMERAS hIKANAS.
Bruce (NICNT Acts 2nd ed) joins TOIS ADELFOIS with APOTAXAMENOS.
APOTASSW frequently takes a dative argument, see Danker's 3rd page
123 under APOTASSW. Barrett (Acts ICC) solves the dilema by not
translating TOIS ADELFOIS at all!
I don't see any textual variants that support Barrett's decision,
furthermore I would expect Culy who appears to be a generative
linguist to at least give some comment on his decison since the focus
of Parsons & Culy is syntax.
