<x-charset iso-8859-1>KAI links PTOHQENTES and GENOMENOI as coordinate aorist participles.
Woodenly, I would probably translate them as relative past participles:
"But *having been startled* and *having become* fearful, they were supposing
to see a spirit." I think the major English translations tend to capture
the sense well enough, since we don't use participles nearly as much in
English as Koine Greek does.
