Open translation for this passage
ἐπὶ δὲ Ἐχεστράτου τοῦ Ἄγιδος βασιλεύοντες ἐν Σπάρτῃ Κυνουρέας τοὺς ἐν τῇ ἡλικίᾳ Λακεδαιμόνιοι ποιοῦσιν ἀναστάτους, αἰτίαν ἐπενεγκόντες ὡς τὴν Ἀργολίδα συγγενῶν σφισιν ὄντων Ἀργείων λῃσταί τε ἐκ τῆς Κυνουριακῆς κακουργοῖεν καὶ αὐτοὶ καταδρομὰς ἐκ τοῦ φανεροῦ ποιοῖντο ἐς τὴν γῆν.
Participial βασιλεύοντες is circumstantial with temporal ἐπί and governs the nominative Λακεδαιμόνιοι; αἰτίαν ἐπενεγκόντες introduces an explanatory ὡς-clause with genitive absolute συγγενῶν ... ὄντων. The ὡς-clause coordinates two reported grounds; κακουργοῖεν and ποιοῖντο are optatives in indirect discourse, with λῃσταί as the subject of the first and αὐτοί of the second.

λέγονται δὲ οἱ Κυνουρεῖς Ἀργεῖοι τὸ ἀνέκαθεν εἶναι, καὶ οἰκιστήν φασιν αὐτῶν Κύνουρον γενέσθαι τὸν Περσέως.
Two infinitival clauses are coordinated: λέγονται takes an indirect-speech infinitive εἶναι with predicative Ἀργεῖοι and subject οἱ Κυνουρεῖς; φασιν takes γενέσθαι with accusative subject Κύνουρον and predicate οἰκιστήν. The article τὸ before ἀνέκαθεν is substantivizing/adverbial and attached to the infinitive phrase.
