the answer to that is both. the Syrophoenicians were phoenicians who dwelt in the land of cannan and integrated with the greeks. phoenicians were cannanites. the woman was a phonecian which were of cannanite decent and she was either part greek or adhered to the greek faith which was common of the phoenicians.
