Exegesis
The narrative continues with another historical present theorousin {θεωροῦσιν | the-ō-roú-sin} ‘they see’, whose object is the accusative participle daimonizomenon {δαιμονιζόμενον | dai-mon-i-zó-me-non} ‘demon-possessed’, expanded by a series of appositional accusative participles—kathemenon {καθήμενον | ka-thḗ-me-non} ‘sitting’, himatismenon {ἱματισμένον | hi-ma-tis-mé-non} ‘clothed’, and sophronounta {σωφρονοῦντα | sō-phro-noún-ta} ‘being in his right mind’—which together depict the transformed condition of the man in progressive detail.
In context — Mark 5:15
And they came to Jesus , and they saw the demon-possessed man sitting, clothed, and in his right mind—the one who had had the legion ; and they were afraid.
