SCRIPTURE

"The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here." — Luke 11:32 (ASV)

At the preaching of Jonah (εις το κηρυγμα Ιωνα). Note this use of εις as in Mt 10:41; 12:41. Luke inserts the words about the Queen of the South (31) in between the discussion of Jonah (verses 29f., 32). Both Σολομωνος (31) and Ιωνα (verse 32) are in the ablative case after the comparative πλειον (more,

something more ).
