Men in a group led into the deserted place · dominant
In Acts 21:38, the genitive plural form occurs in the description of four thousand men whom the Egyptian had led out into the deserted place; the APB renders the clause “led the four thousand men of the assassins out into the deserted place.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 21:38, the APB presents the group as “the assassins” within the phrase about four thousand men led into the deserted place. It cannot establish more specific nuance beyond that group description.
