Open translation for this passage
οἱ δὲ Μεσσήνιοι προητοιμασμένοι μὲν καὶ σῖτον καὶ τὰ ἄλλα ἦσαν ὁπόσα εἰκὸς ἦν, πολιορκίας πειράσεσθαι μακροτέρας ἐλπίζοντες·
The syntax is somewhat elliptical: προητοιμασμένοι governs the coordinated objects, and the ὁπόσα εἰκὸς ἦν segment likely expresses an attendant comparative/relative clause within the preparation context.
