Open translation for this passage
ἐνέμοντο δὲ ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν αἱ τοῦ Νηλέως βοῦς ἐν τῇ ὑπερορίᾳ τὰ πολλά· ὑπόψαμμός τε γάρ ἐστιν ὡς ἐπίπαν ἡ τῶν Πυλίων χώρα καὶ πόαν βουσὶν οὐχ ἱκανὴ τοσαύτην παρασχέσθαι.
The sentence has a reported/disjunctive construction: ἐνέμοντο governs αἱ βοῦς, with ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν as an intervening parenthetical infinitival phrase; ἐν τῇ ὑπερορίᾳ and τὰ πολλά modify the grazing distribution. The second clause explains the claim, with ἡ χώρα as subject of ἐστιν and πόαν ... παρασχέσθαι as an infinitival complement expressing insufficiency.
