Exegesis
This infinitival construction functions as the object of “supposing,” specifying what they believed about auton {αὐτὸν | au-tón} “him.” In translation, the participles are rendered with English participial or subordinate clauses to preserve temporal sequencing, while the imperfect esuron is conveyed with a simple past “they dragged” for idiomatic narrative style.
In context — Acts 14:19
But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and after persuading the crowds and stoning Paul, they dragged him outside the city, assuming him to be dead.
