Exegesis
The nominative participle boskontes {βόσκοντες | bóskontes} ‘feeding ones’ functions substantively as the subject with autous {αὐτοὺς | autoús} ‘them’ as its object, and the aorist verb ephyugon {ἔφυγον | éphugon} ‘fled’ expresses their initial reaction as a completed past action.
In context — Mark 5:14
And those feeding them ran away and reported it in the city and in the countryside . Then people went out to see what had happened.
