Ὀρνεᾶται δὲ οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἀργολίδι πολέμῳ σφᾶς Σικυωνίων πιεζόντων τῷ Ἀπόλλωνι εὔξαντο, εἰ ἀπώσαιντο ἐκ τῆς πατρίδος τῶν Σικυωνίων τὸν στρατόν, πομπήν τε ἐν Δελφοῖς αὐτῷ στελεῖν ὁσημέραι καὶ ἱερεῖα θύσειν οἷα δὴ καὶ ὅσα ἀριθμόν.

The syntax is somewhat compressed: the main clause has a genitive absolute, and the final infinitival sequence with οἷα...καὶ ὅσα ἀριθμόν is semantically clear but structurally ambiguous.
