Exegesis
The verse begins with the coordinating conjunction kai {καί | kaí} linking this scene to the prior narrative, followed by the aorist passive verb eplesthe {ἐπλήσθη | eplḗsthē} ‘was filled,’ which takes hē polis {ἡ πόλις | hē pólis} ‘the city’ as its subject.
The participial clause synarpasantes Gaion kai Aristarchon {συναρπάσαντες Γάϊον καὶ Ἀρίσταρχον | synarpásantes Gáïon kaí Arístarchon} employs an aorist active participle that is temporally and modally related to hormēsan, describing the manner in which they rushed—having first seized Gaius and Aristarchus.
In context — Acts 19:29
And the city was filled with confusion , and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, traveling companions of Paul .
