Open translation for this passage
ἐχόντων δὲ ἤδη Λακεδαίμονα καὶ Ἄργος Δωριέων, ὑφελέσθαι Πρευγένην τῆς Λιμνάτιδος τὸ ἄγαλμα κατὰ ὄψιν ὀνείρατος λέγουσιν ἐκ Σπάρτης, κοινωνῆσαι δὲ αὐτῷ τοῦ ἐγχειρήματος τῶν δούλων τὸν εὐνούστατον.
The genitive absolute ἐχόντων ... Δωριέων sets the temporal background; λέγουσιν governs the infinitival reports ὑφελέσθαι and κοινωνῆσαι. The accusative τὸν εὐνούστατον is the understood subject of κοινωνῆσαι, with τοῦ ἐγχειρήματος as its genitive object/complement; attachment of ἐκ Σπάρτης is somewhat uncertain.
