ταύτης τὰ μὲν πρὸς τοῦ ναοῦ λίθων ἀνέστηκεν αἱμασιά, κατὰ δὲ τὸ ἐκτὸς κάθοδος ἐς αὐτὴν πεποίηται.
The sentence has two coordinated descriptions: a stone wall rises on the temple-facing side, while an approach/downward passage has been made from outside to it. The neuter plural τὰ μέν is substantivized/adverbial, and πρὸς τοῦ ναοῦ is interpreted as a directional phrase modifying the wall.

κάτοπτρον καλῳδίῳ τῶν λεπτῶν δήσαντες καθιᾶσι, σταθμώμενοι μὴ πρόσω καθικέσθαι τῆς πηγῆς, ἀλλʼ ὅσον ἐπιψαῦσαι τοῦ ὕδατος τῷ κύκλῳ τοῦ κατόπτρου.
The participles δήσαντες and σταθμώμενοι modify the implicit subject of καθιᾶσι; the final ἀλλά-clause is elliptical, with ὅσον governing the articular infinitive ἐπιψαῦσαι and expressing the limited extent of immersion. The parsing of σταθμώμενοι is somewhat uncertain in sense, but it is middle/passive present participle.

The first clause has a substantivized article as subject (‘what follows from this’), with εὐξάμενοι and θυμιάσαντες as coordinated circumstantial participles. In the second clause τὸ is a substantivizing article and σφισι is a dative of possession/reference; τὸν νοσοῦντα is the accusative object of ἐπιδείκνυσι, coordinated with ζῶντα and τεθνεῶτα. The exact antecedent/force of τὸ δέ is somewhat elliptical.
