Exegesis
The main finite verb is katepestēsan {κατεπέστησαν | katepéstēsan} ‘rose up against,’ whose hostile nuance is intensified by the adverb homothymadon {ὁμοθυμαδὸν | homothymadòn} ‘with one accord,’ highlighting unified and coordinated opposition.
In context — Acts 18:12
While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews , acting together, rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat.
