Exegesis
The sentence opens with the coordinated nominative subject group Athenaioi de pantes kai hoi epidemountes xenoi {Ἀθηναῖοι δὲ πάντες καὶ οἱ ἐπιδημοῦντες ξένοι | Athē-naî-oi de pán-tes kaí hoi e-pi-dē-moûn-tes xé-noi}, combining the local citizens and the resident foreigners. The postpositive particle de marks a mild transition from the previous narrative.
In context — Acts 17:21
But all the Athenians and the foreigners residing there were spending their time on nothing else except to tell something or to hear something newer.
