τοὺς δὲ ἐφεξῆς βασιλεύσαντας τῆς οἰκίας ταύτης Δόρυσσον τὸν Λαβώτα καὶ Ἀγησίλαον Δορύσσου διʼ ὀλίγου σφᾶς τὸ χρεὼν ἐπέλαβεν ἀμφοτέρους.

The accusative phrase τοὺς ... βασιλεύσαντας is the fronted object of ἐπέλαβεν, with the two personal names in apposition; τῆς οἰκίας ταύτης is a genitive dependent on βασιλεύσαντας, and τὸ χρεών is the personified subject of ἐπέλαβεν. The unusual form σφᾶς is accusative plural and resumes the persons affected; ἀμφοτέρους agrees with it appositionally or emphatically.

ἔθηκε δὲ καὶ Λυκοῦργος Λακεδαιμονίοις τοὺς νόμους ἐπὶ τῆς Ἀγησιλάου βασιλείας· θεῖναι δὲ αὐτὸν λέγουσιν οἱ μὲν παρὰ τῆς Πυθίας διδαχθέντα ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν, οἱ δὲ ὡς Κρητικὰ ὄντα νόμιμα ἐπαγάγοιτο.

The sentence has a main clause with ἔθηκε and two coordinated λέγουσιν reports; θεῖναι is the accusative-and-infinitive complement of λέγουσιν, with διδαχθέντα and ἐπαγάγοιτο expressing the two reported explanations. The final ὡς-clause is somewhat compressed, so its attachment and the subject of ἐπαγάγοιτο are marked with moderate uncertainty.

τούτους δὲ οἱ Κρῆτες τοὺς νόμους τεθῆναί σφισιν ὑπὸ Μίνω λέγουσι, βουλεύσασθαι δὲ ὑπὲρ τῶν νόμων οὐκ ἄνευ θεοῦ τὸν Μίνω.

Accusative-and-infinitive construction after λέγουσι: τούτους τοὺς νόμους is the accusative subject of τεθῆναι, while τὸν Μίνω is the accusative subject of βουλεύσασθαι; Μίνω is the Homeric/contracted accusative of Μίνως. The passive infinitive τεθῆναι has an agent phrase ὑπὸ Μίνω, and σφισιν is a dative of recipient/reference.
