οἶδα δὲ καὶ ὑπὸ Ἰώνων, ὁπότε ἴδοιέν τινα πονοῦντα ἐπὶ οὐδενὶ ὄνησιν φέροντι, ὑπὸ τούτων εἰρημένον ὡς ὁ ἀνὴρ οὗτος συνάγει τοῦ Ὄκνου τὴν θώμιγγα.
οἶδα is the matrix root with a passive perfect participle phrase εἰρημένον governed by ὑπό; ὁπότε ἴδοιέν introduces an iterative subordinate clause, and ὡς introduces the content of the reported saying. The participles πονοῦντα and φέροντι are coordinated semantically within the object scene; φέροντι agrees with οὐδενί and expresses the benefit/result associated with the labor.
