ἐπὶ τούτῳ μὲν ἐς τοὺς ἀρνουμένους στερεῶς λέγεσθαι καθέστηκεν ὡς ὁ δεῖνα ὅστις δὴ Τενεδίῳ πελέκει τόδε τι ἀποκόψειεν.
The clause means that it has become firmly established to say of those denying this that the person in question, whoever he is, cut off this object with a Tenedian axe; the exact scope of ἐπὶ τούτῳ and the internal syntax of ὡς are somewhat idiomatic.

Τέννην μὲν ὑπὸ Ἀχιλλέως ἀποθανεῖν ἀμύνοντα τῇ οἰκείᾳ φασὶν Ἕλληνες·
Accusative Τέννην is the subject of the accusative–infinitive construction with φασίν; ἀποθανεῖν is coordinated semantically with the participle ἀμύνοντα, which modifies Τέννην. ὑπό + genitive marks Achilles as agent of the passive-like death expression.
