Open translation for this passage
τοῖς δέ ἐστιν εἰρημένον ὡς αὐτὸς Οἰνόμαος ὁ τοὺς ἱππεύοντάς ἐστιν ἐν τῷ δρόμῳ βλάπτων.
The sentence is syntactically irregular as transmitted: εἰρημένον is a perfect passive participle with τοῖς as its dative experiencer/agent, while ὡς introduces a reported proposition; ἐστιν with ὁ ... βλάπτων is best read as an embedded copular construction, though the repeated ἐστιν and accusative τοὺς ἱππεύοντας leave the exact intended syntax uncertain.

ἤκουσα δὲ καὶ ἐς τὸν Πορθάονος Ἀλκάθουν ἀγόντων τὴν αἰτίαν, ὡς ἐνταῦθα μέρη λάβοι γῆς ὁ Ἀλκάθους ἀποθανὼν ὑπὸ Οἰνομάου τῶν Ἱπποδαμείας γάμων ἕνεκα· ἅτε δὲ ἀτυχήσαντα ἐν ἱπποδρόμῳ, βάσκανόν τε εἶναι τοῖς ἱππεύουσι καὶ οὐκ εὐμενῆ δαίμονα.
The infinitive phrase ἀγόντων ... τὴν αἰτίαν is governed by ἤκουσα; ὡς introduces reported explanation. ὁ Ἀλκάθους is a genitival patronymic/name construction, and the participles ἀποθανών and ἀτυχήσαντα are coordinated explanatory predicates; case agreement in the latter is somewhat compressed/uncertain.
