τὰ δὲ ἄλλα ἐς τὸν ποταμὸν Φλιάσιοι καὶ Σικυώνιοι λέγουσι, τὸ ὕδωρ ἔπηλυ καὶ οὐκ ἐγχώριον εἶναί οἱ·
The infinitive clause εἶναί οἱ depends on λέγουσι; τὸ ὕδωρ is its subject, with ἔπηλυ and ἐγχώριον as predicative adjectives. οἱ is dative of respect/reference, probably ‘for them’; the antecedent is the neighboring peoples, with some syntactic uncertainty.
