Open translation for this passage
πρὶν δὲ ἢ διαβῆναι τὸν Κηφισὸν Θεοδώρου μνῆμά ἐστι τραγῳδίαν ὑποκριναμένου τῶν καθʼ αὑτὸν ἄριστα.
The phrase πρὶν ἢ διαβῆναι introduces a temporal infinitival clause; μνῆμά ἐστι is existential/predicative, with Θεοδώρου as genitive possessor and τραγῳδίαν ὑποκριναμένου dependent on μνῆμα. The final τῶν ... ἄριστα is elliptical and somewhat uncertain, probably a partitive/genitive phrase meaning 'among those of his time, best'.

ἀγάλματα δὲ ἐπὶ τῷ ποταμῷ Μνησιμάχης, τὸ δὲ ἕτερον ἀνάθημα κειρομένου οἱ τὴν κόμην τοῦ παιδός ἐστι τῷ Κηφισῷ·
The sentence contains an elliptical first nominative phrase and a second copular clause; κειρομένου with οἱ is syntactically difficult, so its attachment is marked medium/low confidence.

καθεστάναι δὲ ἐκ παλαιοῦ καὶ τοῖς πᾶσι τοῦτο Ἕλλησι τῇ Ὁμήρου τις ἂν τεκμαίροιτο ποιήσει, ὃς τὸν Πηλέα εὔξασθαί φησι τῷ Σπερχειῷ κερεῖν ἀνασωθέντος ἐκ Τροίας Ἀχιλλέως τὴν κόμην.
The sentence has an elliptical infinitival construction: καθεστάναι is understood with τοῦτο as subject and is coordinated with the inferential clause τεκμαίροιτο. In the Homeric evidence clause, Πηλέα is the accusative subject of εὔξασθαι, while Ἀχιλλέως is genitive absolute with ἀνασωθέντος; κερεῖν is governed by εὔξασθαι.
