ἀπάτη δέ σε πρόσθε τίθησιν ἥ τʼ ὀπίσω τίσις ἐστί, καὶ ἔνθεον ἐξαπατῴης.
The syntax is somewhat compressed: ἀπάτη is the subject of τίθησιν, while ἥ τʼ ὀπίσω τίσις ἐστί is a relative/copular clause; the final καὶ ἔνθεον ἐξαπατῴης is treated as a coordinated second predicate, though its exact construction is uncertain.
