Open translation for this passage
πεποίηκε δὲ καὶ Ὅμηρος ἐν Ἰλιάδι, ὡς Ἰφιδάμας ὁ Ἀντήνορος τὰ πρῶτα τῶν ἕδνων ἑκατὸν βοῦς τῷ πενθερῷ δοίη.
The infinitive-like optative δοίη is the finite verb of the ὡς-clause in indirect statement/content: Homer made (it so) that Iphidamas would give the first installment of the bride-price, one hundred oxen, to his father-in-law. ἑκατόν βοῦς is an accusative quantity expression; τὰ πρῶτα τῶν ἕδνων is the object/partitive phrase.

ταῦτα μὲν τὸν λόγον μοι βεβαιοῖ, βουσὶ τοὺς τότε χαίρειν μάλιστα ἀνθρώπους·
The main clause means ‘this confirms the account for me’; βουσὶ is dative with χαίρειν, and τοὺς ... ἀνθρώπους is the accusative subject of the infinitive. The infinitival phrase is an explanatory/content complement of βεβαιοῖ; χαίρειν is plausibly governed semantically by βουσὶ, with βουσὶ perhaps an unusual or textually difficult form/context, so that attachment is marked medium confidence.
