καὶ ἀνθʼ ὅτου μὲν οἱ Κορκυραῖοι τόν τε ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ καὶ ἕτερον βοῦν ἐς Δελφοὺς ἀνέθεσαν, δηλώσει μοι τὰ ἐς Φωκέας τοῦ λόγου,
The sentence has a μέν ... δέ-like discourse structure, with καὶ ἀνθʼ ὅτου introducing the explanatory subordinate clause; δηλώσει is the finite root verb, and τὰ ἐς Φωκέας τοῦ λόγου is its subject, with τοῦ λόγου an objective/genitive complement of the topic phrase. The construction ἀνθʼ ὅτου is interpreted as ‘on account of which/why’; exact semantic attachment is somewhat uncertain.
