The first clause has an understood third-person plural subject and coordinated objects ἄλλους ... καὶ Θεαρίδαν; ὡς introduces a temporal clause. In the participial clause, ἐντυχόντες governs πρέσβεσιν, while ἀπεσταλμένοις agrees with πρέσβεσιν and ὕστερον ἢ Ὀρέστης expresses later dispatch than Orestes. The final middle verb is coordinated with the preceding temporal sequence and has the travelers as subject.
