"ἘΒΑΛΛΟΝΤΟ" is the imperfect middle/passive indicative, third person plural of "βάλλω," meaning "to throw" or "to cast." Therefore, the combined phrase means "they were being thrown by them" or "they were throwing themselves from them." It describes an action of throwing or casting that is either done by the subjects themselves (middle voice) or done to them (passive voice), with the genitive pronoun indicating possession or origin.
