Open translation for this passage
καὶ ἐκείνους τε αὐτοὺς μάντευμα ἀφίκετο θῦσαι τῇ Ἀρτέμιδι καὶ ἀνὰ πᾶν ἔτος παρθένον καὶ παῖδα οἳ τὸ εἶδος εἶεν κάλλιστοι τῇ θεῷ θύειν.
The finite verb ἀφίκετο governs the accusative-and-infinitive construction: μάντευμα is the subject of ἀφίκετο, with θῦσαι and θύειν as complementary infinitives; οἳ εἶεν κάλλιστοι is a relative clause modifying παῖδα (and coordinated παρθένον), with εἶεν concessively/optatively understood as ‘were’ or ‘might be’.
