πρό τε δὴ τηλικούτων κακῶν κέρδος εἶναι καλῶς τινα ἀποθανεῖν, πολὺ δὲ εἶναι ῥᾷον ἀηττήτοις οὖσιν ἔτι καὶ τὰς τόλμας καθεστηκόσιν ἐξ ἴσου προθυμίᾳ τοὺς ἀντιτεταγμένους ὑπερβαλεῖν ἢ προαποβαλόντας τὸ φρόνημα ἐπανορθοῦσθαι τὰ ἐπταισμένα.

The sentence has coordinated infinitival complements under an understood copula: κέρδος εἶναι ... ἀποθανεῖν and ῥᾷον εἶναι ... ὑπερβαλεῖν ἢ ... ἐπανορθοῦσθαι. The participles οὖσιν and καθεστηκόσιν agree with an understood plural subject; προθυμίᾳ is best read as instrumental/dative of manner, though the phrase ἐξ ἴσου προθυμίᾳ is syntactically difficult.
