Open translation for this passage
ταύτης τῆς γυναικὸς ἐπίγραμμα μὲν ἄπεστιν ἥτις ἐστί, Φρυγίοις δὲ αὐλεῖ καὶ οὐχ Ἑλληνικοῖς αὐλοῖς.
The sentence has a verbless μὲν clause with ἐπίγραμμα as subject and ἄπεστιν as predicate (‘the inscription is absent’), followed by a relative clause identifying the woman and a δέ clause: she plays Phrygian, not Greek, pipes. The dative αὐλοῖς is instrumental/associative with αὐλεῖ; αὐλεῖ is potentially ambiguous in form but here is 3sg present active.
