Open translation for this passage
Προκλῆς δὲ ὁ Καρχηδόνιος τύχης μὲν χρηστῆς ἕνεκα καὶ διὰ λαμπρότητα ἔργων ἔνεμεν Ἀλεξάνδρῳ τᾷ Φιλίππου πλέον, τάξαι δὲ ὁπλίτας τε καὶ ἱππικὸν καὶ στρατηγήματα ἐπὶ ἄνδρας πολεμίους εὑρεῖν Πύρρον ἔφασκεν ἀμείνονα γενέσθαι.
Main predicate ἔφασκεν takes the infinitival complements τάξαι and εὑρεῖν; ἔνεμεν is coordinated/parenthetical in the reported comparison, with Ἀλεξάνδρῳ as indirect object and τᾷ Φιλίππου as dialectal dative article plus genitive modifier. The attachment of πλέον is comparative and somewhat elliptical.
