Ταλετοῦ δὲ τὸ μεταξὺ καὶ Εὐόρα Θήρας ὀνομάζοντες Λητώ φασιν ἀπὸ τῶν ἄκρων τοῦ Ταϋγέτου Δήμητρος ἐπίκλησιν Ἐλευσινίας ἐστὶν ἱερόν·
The sentence has an elliptical/complex construction: τὸ μεταξὺ καὶ Εὐόρα Θήρας ὀνομάζοντες is a nominative participial subject with φασιν, while the quoted assertion has ἱερόν as predicate nominative and ἐστίν as copula; Δήμητρος ἐπίκλησιν Ἐλευσινίας is an appositional/genitival expression, with the exact attachment of ἀπὸ τῶν ἄκρων τοῦ Ταϋγέτου somewhat uncertain.
