Open translation for this passage
λέγουσι δὲ οἱ Ἠλεῖοι καὶ ἔπος ἐς τὴν Πύλον ταύτην ἔχειν τῶν Ὁμήρου, γένος δʼ ἦν ἐκ ποταμοῖο Ἀλφειοῦ, ὅστʼ εὐρὺ ῥέει Πυλίων διὰ γαίης, Hom. Il. 5.544 καὶ ἐμὲ ἔπειθον λέγοντες·
The sentence has λέγουσι with an accusative-plus-infinitive construction: ἔπος ... ἔχειν, with τῶν Ὁμήρου modifying ἔπος. The following Homeric quotation is fragmentary and tokenized character-by-character; those items are treated as citation material, while καὶ ἐμὲ ἔπειθον λέγοντες is coordinated continuation. ὅστʼ is the elided relative form ὅστις, referring to Ἀλφειός; γαίης is an epic genitive.

ῥεῖ γὰρ δὴ διὰ τῆς χώρας ταύτης ὁ Ἀλφειός, ἐς δὲ ἄλλην Πύλον οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπενεγκεῖν τὸ ἔπος·
The second clause is impersonal ἔστιν with an infinitive; ἐς ἄλλην Πύλον is the destination complement of ἐπενεγκεῖν, and τὸ ἔπος is its object, with case syncretism obscuring the accusative.

Πυλίων γὰρ τῶν ὑπὲρ νήσου τῆς Σφακτηρίας οὐ πέφυκεν ἀρχὴν διοδεύειν τὴν γῆν ὁ Ἀλφειός, οὐ μὴν οὐδὲ ἐν τῇ Ἀρκάδων Πύλον ποτὲ ὀνομασθεῖσαν ἴσμεν πόλιν.
The sentence has two coordinated negative assertions: the Alpheios does not naturally traverse the land of the Pylian region, nor do ‘we’ know a city called Pylos in Arcadian territory. The phrase Πύλον ... ὀνομασθεῖσαν is compressed naming syntax, so the attachment of Πύλον is somewhat uncertain.
