Exegesis
Within this reported accusation, hoi tēn oikoumenēn anastatōsantes {Οἱ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἀναστατώσαντες | Hoí tḕn oikouménen anastatṓsantes} is an articular participial phrase: the article hoi substantivizes the participle, yielding “those who have stirred up the inhabited world,” and the object tēn oikoumenēn marks the scope of the alleged disturbance.
