Exegesis
The verse begins with two circumstantial participles, dierchomenos {διερχόμενος | di-er-khó-me-nos} ‘passing through’ and anatheoron {ἀναθεωρῶν | a-na-the-ō-rôn} ‘observing carefully’, which set the stage for the main verb heuron {εὗρον | heû-ron} ‘I found’.
In context — Acts 17:23
For as I was passing through and carefully observing the objects of your worship, I also found an altar on which had been inscribed: “To an Unknown God .” Therefore, what you worship without knowing , this I proclaim to you.
