Exegesis
The participle idontes {ἰδόντες | idóntes} ‘having seen’ introduces a temporal clause that leads into the verb parekalesan {παρεκάλεσαν | parekálesan} ‘they encouraged’, directed at tous adelphous {τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς | toús adelphoús} ‘the brothers’, with the article signaling a known group.
In context — Acts 16:40
After they went out from the prison , they entered Lydia’s house; and when they saw the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.
