The verb 'διεκήρυσσον' is the imperfect active indicative form of 'διακηρύσσω' (diakēryssō), which means 'to proclaim throughout, to preach widely, to announce publicly'. The imperfect tense indicates an ongoing or repeated action in the past. Therefore, the combined phrase means 'and they were proclaiming' or 'and they were preaching'.
