τοιαῦτα εἰπόντος τοῦ μάντεως τὸ πλῆθος τῶν Μεσσηνίων ὥρμησεν ἀποκτενοῦντες τὸν μνηστῆρα τῆς παιδός, ὡς Ἀριστοδήμῳ τε μίασμα εἰκαῖον προσάψαντα καὶ σφίσι τῆς σωτηρίας τὴν ἐλπίδα ἀμφίβολον πεποιηκότα.

Genitive absolute τοιαῦτα εἰπόντος τοῦ μάντεως sets the circumstance. τὸ πλῆθος is singular subject of ὥρμησεν; ἀποκτενοῦντες is a circumstantial participle agreeing with the collective subject. The ὡς-clause gives the alleged grounds, with προσάψαντα and πεποιηκότα coordinated accusative participles referring to the mνηστῆρα.
