κατιόντων δὲ ἐς Λέρναν πρῶτον μὲν καθʼ ὁδόν ἐστιν ὁ Ἐρασῖνος, ἐκδίδωσι δὲ ἐς τὸν Φρίξον, ὁ Φρίξος δὲ ἐς τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν μεταξὺ Τημενίου καὶ Λέρνης.
The opening genitive absolute κατιόντων δὲ introduces the circumstances; ἐστιν takes ὁ Ἐρασῖνος as subject, while the following coordinated ἐκδίδωσι clauses describe outlets. The final τὴν μεταξὺ Τημενίου καὶ Λέρνης modifies θάλασσαν; μεταξὺ is a preposition governing the genitive pair.

ἀπὸ δὲ Ἐρασίνου τραπεῖσιν ἐς ἀριστερὰ σταδίους ὅσον ὀκτώ, Διοσκούρων ἱερόν ἐστιν Ἀνάκτων· πεποίηται δέ σφισι κατὰ ταὐτὰ καὶ ἐν τῇ πόλει τὰ ξόανα.
The first clause is an elliptical directional construction: ἀπὸ Ἐρασίνου, τραπεῖσιν ἐς ἀριστερά, with σταδίους ὅσον ὀκτώ measuring the distance. Διοσκούρων ἱερόν is the subject/predicate noun phrase of ἐστιν, with Ἀνάκτων in apposition. In the second clause, σφισι is the dative recipient/possessor with πεποίηται, and τὰ ξόανα is the subject of the passive perfect; κατὰ ταὐτά means ‘in the same way’.
