Ταρτήσσιον δὲ εἶναι ποταμὸν ἐν χώρᾳ τῇ Ἰβήρων λέγουσι στόμασιν ἐς θάλασσαν κατερχόμενον δυσὶ καὶ ὁμώνυμον αὐτῷ πόλιν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ ποταμοῦ τῶν ἐκβολῶν κειμένην.

Reported infinitival construction under λέγουσι: Ταρτήσσιον ποταμὸν εἶναι ..., with a coordinated second accusative predicate ὁμώνυμον πόλιν; the phrase δυσὶ is syntactically elliptical and is analyzed as a dative associated with the river's descent through two mouths.

εἰσὶ δʼ οἳ Καρπίαν Ἰβήρων πόλιν καλεῖσθαι νομίζουσι τὰ ἀρχαιότερα Ταρτησσόν.

Existential εἰσί introduces a relative clause with οἳ as subject; νομίζουσι governs an accusative-and-infinitive construction, with Καρπίαν πόλιν as the infinitive's accusative subject and καλεῖσθαι as its predicate. τὰ ἀρχαιότερα Ταρτησσόν is the content of the naming: ‘the older accounts call it Tartessus’; the neuter plural adjective is substantivized, while Ταρτησσόν is a neuter accusative predicate/name.
