Φλεγύαν Ἐπιδαύριοί φασιν ἐλθεῖν ἐς Πελοπόννησον πρόφασιν μὲν ἐπὶ θέᾳ τῆς χώρας, ἔργῳ δὲ κατάσκοπον πλήθους τῶν ἐνοικούντων καὶ εἰ τὸ πολὺ μάχιμον εἴη τῶν ἀνθρώπων·

Φλεγύαν is the accusative subject of the infinitive ἐλθεῖν under φασιν; πρόφασιν and κατάσκοπον are coordinated accusative-predicate complements describing the purpose/actual role of the visit. The final εἰ-clause is an embedded indirect question dependent on κατάσκοπον (with εἴη as its verb); τῶν ἐνοικούντων and τῶν ἀνθρώπων are genitives dependent on πλήθους and μάχιμον respectively.
