Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi tous ekhontas ta pneumata ta ponēra {ἐπὶ τοὺς ἔχοντας τὰ πνεύματα τὰ πονηρὰ | epí toús é-khon-tas tà pnéu-ma-ta tà po-nē-rá} uses the present participle ekhontas {ἔχοντας | é-khon-tas} substantivally (“those who had”), with the repeated article–noun–article–adjective pattern giving emphasis to “the spirits, the evil ones.”
In context — Acts 19:13
But some also of the itinerant Jewish exorcists attempted to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.”
