ἀποροῦσι δέ σφισιν ὅ τι ὁ χρησμὸς ἐθέλοι συνέτυχεν ἐλαύνων ἀνὴρ ἡμίονον, ὁ δὲ ἕτερος διέφθαρτο τῷ ἡμιόνῳ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν·
The sentence is syntactically difficult: ὅ τι introduces the object/content of ἀποροῦσι, while ἐθέλοι is an optative in indirect question; συνέτυχεν governs the participial description ἐλαύνων ἀνήρ ἡμίονον. The final clause means that the other man had been blinded in the eyes by the mule; some attachment details remain uncertain.
