Open translation for this passage
Ἀγών τε ἐν τοῖς ἀναθήμασίν ἐστι τοῖς Μικύθου φέρων ἁλτῆρας,
The syntax is straightforward overall: a copular/existential clause with a participial modifier; the only difficulty is the genitive Μικύθου after τοῖς, which may reflect an appositional or loosely associated phrase.

οἱ δὲ ἁλτῆρες οὗτοι παρέχονται σχῆμα τοιόνδε· κύκλου παραμηκεστέρου καὶ οὐκ ἐς τὸ ἀκριβέστατον περιφεροῦς εἰσιν ἥμισυ, πεποίηται δὲ ὡς καὶ τοὺς δακτύλους τῶν χειρῶν διιέναι καθάπερ διʼ ὀχάνων ἀσπίδος.
The first clause has a compressed predicative construction (κύκλου ... εἰσιν ἥμισυ) and the second clause uses an infinitival comparison introduced by ὡς/καθάπερ, which makes attachment of the genitives somewhat interpretive.
