Open translation for this passage
δοκοῦσι δὲ οἱ Σπαρτιᾶταί μοι ποίησιν καὶ ἔπαινον τὸν ἀπʼ αὐτῆς ἥκιστα ἀνθρώπων θαυμάσαι·
The main syntactic difficulty is the infinitival clause: ποίησιν καὶ ἔπαινον are coordinated objects of θαυμάσαι, with ἀνθρώπων as the infinitival subject and ἥκιστα modifying the infinitive.

ὅτι γὰρ μὴ τῇ Κυνίσκᾳ τὸ ἐπίγραμμα ἐποίησεν ὅστις δή, καὶ ἔτι πρότερον Παυσανίᾳ τὸ ἐπὶ τῷ τρίποδι Σιμωνίδης τῷ ἀνατεθέντι ἐς Δελφούς, ἄλλο δέ γε παρὰ ἀνδρὸς ποιητοῦ Λακεδαιμονίων τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν οὐδέν ἐστιν ἐς μνήμην.
The syntax is somewhat compressed and likely elliptical in the middle; the participial phrase around τῷ ἀνατεθέντι ἐς Δελφούς is the most uncertain attachment.
