Open translation for this passage
Βελλεροφόντην δὲ οὐκ αὐτοκράτορα ὄντα βασιλεύειν, εἶναι δὲ ἐπὶ Προίτῳ καὶ Ἀργείοις ἐγώ τε πείθομαι καὶ ὅστις τὰ Ὁμήρου μὴ πάρεργον ἐπελέξατο.
Infinitival accusative construction: Βελλεροφόντην ... βασιλεύειν depends on πείθομαι, with εἶναι coordinated; ἐπὶ Προίτῳ καὶ Ἀργείοις expresses rule over Proetus and the Argives. The final relative clause identifies one who has carefully read Homer rather than treating him as incidental.
