• Now, as to the continued chain of those who enjoy the promises in this world, Abraham was the root, and not the Gentiles; Israel, the natural stock and branches. (“Romans 11” by J.N. Darby)
• Abraham was the root (God Himself the source of leaf and fruit), and Israel the stem and the tree. (“Romans 11” by J.N. Darby)
• There had been some bad branches, and they had been cut off; and others from the Gentiles grafted in, in their place, who thus enjoyed the richness natural to the tree of promise. (“Romans 11” by J.N. Darby)
• The enjoyment of privileges by position makes us responsible for them, without saying the individual was born again. The Jewish branch was in the tree of promise and broken off: so the Gentiles. There was nothing vital or real; but they were in the place of blessing, “partakers of the root and fatness of the olive tree,” by being grafted in. (“Romans 11” by J.N. Darby)
• {v.17-22} The passage concerns Israel's privilege of being in a place of outward association with God, not Israel's blessings being given to the Church.

• The wild olive branches refer to those of the Christian profession (which is largely composed of Gentiles— Acts 15:14; 28:28). The branches in this passage do not refer to believers, but rather to persons (some real, and some not), being in a place of outward favor with God. (“The Stumbling of Israel–Opening the Way for Blessing to Go Out to the Gentiles, and the Gentile's Rejection of Grace–Preparing the Way for Israel's Restoration: Romans 11” by B. Anstey)

The rendering here is as certain as the sense resulting from it is clear and good. With plurals or collectives "en" regularly means "among," as in the KJV.
b
The "and" is doubtful.
