Exegesis
The aorist participle idontes {ἰδόντες | i-DÓN-tes} “having seen” functions adverbially, expressing the cause of their reaction and preceding the main finite verb, which is implicit in the first clause and then made explicit with epēran {ἐπῆραν | e-PE-ran} “they lifted.”
In context — Acts 14:11
And the crowds, having seen what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language, saying, “The gods have come down to us, having become like men .”
