Open translation for this passage
Τήμενος δὲ ἐς ὑδρίαν, ἐνόντος ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ὕδατος, καθίησι τῶν Ἀριστοδήμου παίδων καὶ Κρεσφόντου τοὺς πάλους ἐπὶ διῃρημένοις, μοῖραν ἀναιρεῖσθαι τῆς χώρας προτέρους ὁποτέρων ἂν πάλος ἀνέλθῃ πρότερον.
Τήμενος is the subject of καθίησι; the genitive absolute ἐνόντος ... ὕδατος is parenthetical. ἐπὶ διῃρημένοις is interpreted as a compressed phrase meaning 'upon the divided lots/marked divisions'; the final ὁποτέρων ... πάλος clause determines which group receives the portion first.

τοὺς μὲν δὴ πάλους γῆς ὁ Τήμενος ἐπεποίητο ἀμφοτέρους, ἀλλὰ τοῖς μὲν Ἀριστοδήμου παισὶ ξηρᾶς ὑπὸ ἡλίου, Κρεσφόντῃ δὲ ὀπτῆς πυρί·
The sentence contrasts two lots: Temenus had made both lots of land; the first was for Aristodemus' sons, of dry land exposed to the sun, while Cresphontes received one of baked land by fire. The participial/elliptical phrases after the recipients are treated as genitival descriptions of the lots, with some uncertainty about the exact attachment of ξηρᾶς and ὀπτῆς.

ὅ τε δὴ τῶν Ἀριστοδήμου παίδων πάλος κατετέτηκτο καὶ ὁ Κρεσφόντης οὕτω λαχὼν γῆν αἱρεῖται τὴν Μεσσηνίαν.
The correlative τε ... καί coordinates the drawing of lots and Cresphontes' selection; πάλος is the lot/object subject of κατετέτηκτο, while λαχών is a circumstantial participle agreeing with Κρεσφόντης and γῆν is the object of αἱρεῖται. The form ὅ is taken as a relative/demonstrative connective referring to the preceding context.
