Exegesis
The aorist middle indicative apoleto {ἀπώλετο | ap-ṓ-le-to} ‘perished’ then states the resultant destruction of that world. In translation, the participial construction is rendered either as a prior circumstance (“having been flooded”) or as a temporal clause (“when it was flooded”) to make the sequence of events clear, while the force of dia ‘through’ is maintained by English expressions like “through which” and “by means of these” to reflect the instrumental relationship to the antecedent agents.
In context — 2 Peter 3:6
Through which the world at that time, having been flooded with water, perished.
