Open translation for this passage
ἀρχαιότατον δὲ ἀγώνισμα γενέσθαι μνημονεύουσι καὶ ἐφʼ ᾧ πρῶτον ἆθλα ἔθεσαν, ᾆσαι ὕμνον ἐς τὸν θεόν·
The accusative infinitive γενέσθαι depends on μνημονεύουσι; the relative clause ἐφʼ ᾧ πρῶτον ἆθλα ἔθεσαν modifies the remembered contest, and ᾆσαι ὕμνον ἐς τὸν θεόν is an epexegetic infinitive specifying the event. The exact antecedent and syntax of ἐφʼ ᾧ are somewhat elliptical.
