τὰ δὲ ἀρχαιότερα ὄνομα εἶναι Κυπάρισσον τῇ πόλει φασί, καὶ Ὅμηρον ἐν Φωκέων καταλόγῳ τὸ ὄνομα θελῆσαι θέσθαι γε αὐτόν, ὅτι ἤδη τηνικαῦτα ἐκαλεῖτο Ἀντίκυρα· εἶναι γὰρ δὴ τὸν Ἀντικυρέα κατὰ Ἡρακλέα ἡλικίαν.
The construction has two reported infinitival clauses dependent on φασί: τὰ ἀρχαιότερα ὄνομα εἶναι Κυπάρισσον and (Ὅμηρον) ... θελῆσαι θέσθαι τὸ ὄνομα; the final εἶναι clause explains the temporal motivation. Some attachment choices, especially αὐτόν and the comparative phrase κατὰ Ἡρακλέα ἡλικίαν, are interpretive.
