Open translation for this passage
ἦν δὲ ἡ μὲν θήλεια ἵππος, καὶ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἀποπηδῶντες ἐπὶ τῷ ἐσχάτῳ δρόμῳ συνέθεον οἱ ἀναβάται ταῖς ἵπποις εἰλημμένοι τῶν χαλινῶν, καθὰ καὶ ἐς ἐμὲ ἔτι οἱ ἀναβάται καλούμενοι·
The sentence has an initial copular clause (ἡ θήλεια ἵππος), followed by coordinated imperfect συνέθεον with nominative ἀναβάται as subject; εἰλημμένοι governs the genitive of the bridles and agrees with the riders, while the final participial clause is elliptical/retrospective and syntactically somewhat uncertain.
