κόρην ἄχραντον νερτέροισι δαίμοσι, κλήρῳ λαχοῦσαν Αἰπυτιδῶν ἀφʼ αἵματος, θυηπολεῖτε νυκτέροισιν ἐν σφαγαῖς.
Imperative θυηπολεῖτε governs the accusative object κόρην with its attributive participle λαχοῦσαν; νερτέροισι δαίμοσι and νυκτέροισιν ἐν σφαγαῖς express the chthonic sacrificial context. The exact force of λαχοῦσαν is participial and syntactically somewhat compressed.

ἢν δὲ σφαλῆτε, καὶ παρʼ ἀλλοίου τότε θύειν, διδόντος ἐς σφαγὴν ἑκουσίως.
The sentence is elliptical: σφαλῆτε forms the conditional protasis, while θύειν is an infinitival apodotic or coordinated continuation; διδόντος is best treated as an attendant/genitive-absolute participial construction, though its exact attachment is uncertain.
