Open translation for this passage
λέγεται δὲ καὶ Ἀρκάδων ἐς τὴν Ἠλείαν ἐσβεβληκότων στρατιᾷ καὶ τῶν Ἠλείων σφίσιν ἀντικαθημένων γυναῖκα ἀφικομένην παρὰ τῶν Ἠλείων τοὺς στρατηγούς, νήπιον παῖδα ἔχουσαν ἐπὶ τῷ μαστῷ, λέγειν ὡς τέκοι μὲν αὐτὴ τὸν παῖδα, διδοίη δὲ ἐξ ὀνειράτων συμμαχήσοντα Ἠλείοις.
The sentence is built around impersonal λέγεται with an infinitival complement; 8 and 14 form coordinated genitive absolutes, while 32 and 38 are coordinated optatives in reported content. Token 42 is an accusative future participle, likely agreeing with an understood παιδίον/παῖδα and expressing intended alliance.
