Open translation for this passage
μαρτύρια δέ μοι καὶ τάδε, τὴν ἐν Λακεδαίμονι Ὀρθίαν τὸ ἐκ τῶν βαρβάρων εἶναι ξόανον·
Elliptical construction: μαρτύρια ... τάδε is the subject/predicate frame, with an implied copula and an accusative-and-infinitive clause (τὴν ... Ὀρθίαν ... ξόανον εἶναι) functioning as the content of the testimony. The article τὴν is likely substantivizing an omitted or understood feminine noun (sc. θεάν/Ἄρτεμιν), while Ὀρθίαν agrees with that understood feminine referent; τὸ ξόανον is the accusative subject of εἶναι.
