Exegesis
The nominative participle epilabomenoi tou Paulou {ἐπιλαβόμενοι τοῦ Παύλου | e-pi-la-bó-me-noi toû Paú-lou} functions circumstantially (“having seized Paul”), leading into the imperfect heilkon {εἷλκον | heíl-kon} ‘they were dragging,’ with auton {αὐτὸν | au-tòn} as object.
In context — Acts 21:30
The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
