Ζηνὶ θεῶν βασιλεῖ μʼ ἀκροθίνιον ἐνθάδʼ ἔθηκαν Μενδαῖοι, Σίπτην χερσὶ βιασσάμενοι.
Μενδαῖοι is the subject of ἔθηκαν; μʼ is the object, with ἀκροθίνιον as its predicative/denominative complement. Σίπτην is an accusative of respect or object-like specification with βιασσάμενοι, whose participial subject is co-referential with Μενδαῖοι; the exact syntax of Σίπτην is somewhat uncertain.

Μενδαίοις δὲ αὐτοῖς γένος τε Ἑλληνικὸν καὶ ἀπὸ Ἰωνίας ἐστίν, οἰκοῦσι δὲ ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἄνω τῆς πρὸς Αἴνῳ πόλει.
Two coordinated clauses: Μενδαίοις is a dative possessor/experiencer with εἰμί, while γένος is the subject complement; οἰκοῦσι is coordinated by δέ and has an understood Μενδαίοις subject. The final phrase is somewhat compressed: ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἄνω τῆς πρὸς Αἴνῳ πόλει means ‘up from the sea, the city toward Ainos’; attachment of τῆς πρὸς Αἴνῳ πόλει is interpreted as an attributive apposition/description of the settlement.
