Open translation for this passage
ἐνταῦθα ἀσπίδες κεῖνται χαλκαῖ, καὶ ταῖς μέν ἐστιν ἐπίγραμμα ἀπὸ Σ κιωναίων καὶ τῶν ἐπικούρων εἶναι,
The clause with ἐστιν is elliptical and likely introduces the content of ἐπίγραμμα; the infinitive phrase εἶναι governs the genitive subjects in indirect discourse.
