Act 6:9
ANESTHSAN DE TINES
TWN EK THS SUNAGWGHS THS LEGOMENHS LIBERTINWN
KAI KURHNAIWN KAI ALEXANDREWN
KAI TWN APO KILIKIAS KAI ASIAS
SUZHTOUNTES TW STEFANW

Why is the TWN repeated in the second half of the
verse.  I would be inclined to understand it as "Some
from the Synagogue called Freedmen's both Cyrenians
and Alexandrians and some from Cilicia and Asia" not
making clear which synagogue the latter people might
attend.  Is this reading grammatically or contextually
implausible?
