Exegesis
The object of that action is expressed by the accusative phrase tauten ten synomosian {ταύτην τὴν συνωμοσίαν | taú-tēn tēn syn-ō-mo-sí-an}, 'this conspiracy', where the demonstrative tauten gives deictic force and specificity. Aspectually, the aorist participle presents the making of the conspiracy as a completed act prior to the narrative reference point, while the imperfect esan portrays the existence of this group as an ongoing state in that context. In English, the participial construction is most naturally rendered as a relative clause ('who had formed / who had made') to preserve both the attributive function and the prior aspect of their plotting.
