καὶ τά γε ἐς Ἐπιμενίδην Λακεδαιμονίους δοξάζω μᾶλλον Ἀργείων λέγειν εἰκότα.
Finite δοξάζω governs an accusative-and-infinitive construction: Λακεδαιμονίους is the understood subject of λέγειν, with εἰκότα as its predicative complement; τά (with γε) is an elliptical substantivized plural referring to matters concerning Epimenides. The attachment of μᾶλλον and the genitive Ἀργείων is somewhat interpretive.
