Open translation for this passage
τοῦτο τὸ ἐπίγραμμα δηλοῖ μὲν ὡς παρὰ τὴν Μεσσήνην ἀφίκοιτο ὁ Καύκων ἀπόγονος ὢν Φλύου, δηλοῖ δὲ καὶ τὰ ἐς τὸν Λύκον τά τε ἄλλα καὶ ὡς ἡ τελετὴ τὸ ἀρχαῖον ἦν ἐν Ἀνδανίᾳ.
δηλοῖ governs two coordinated content clauses introduced by ὡς; ἀφίκοιτο is best read as an optative in subordinate indirect discourse, while the second ὡς-clause states the location of the τελετή. The phrase τὰ ἐς τὸν Λύκον is an ellipted object/topic (‘matters concerning Lycos’).

καί μοι καὶ τοῦτο εἰκὸς ἐφαίνετο, τὴν Μεσσήνην μὴ ἑτέρωθι, ἀλλὰ ἔνθα αὐτή τε καὶ Πολυκάων ᾤκουν, καταστήσασθαι τὴν τελετήν.
The infinitive καταστήσασθαι is the understood proposition with εἰκός; Μεσσήνην is its accusative subject, while ἔνθα introduces a relative locative clause modifying the place of the infinitive’s action.
