Open translation for this passage
καὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ τάδε ἔτι προσταχθῆναί φασιν, ἑκάστῃ τοῖς ἀγάλμασιν ἡμέρᾳ θύειν·
The finite φασιν governs an accusative-and-infinitive construction: τάδε is the accusative subject of προσταχθῆναι, with θύειν as its complementary infinitive. ἑκάστῃ ἡμέρᾳ is a dative temporal phrase; τοῖς ἀγάλμασιν is the dative recipient/beneficiary of θύειν. The exact attachment of the initial αὐτοῖς is somewhat context-dependent.

αὐτοὶ δὲ σόφισμα εὑρόντες θύειν μὲν πλεῖστα ὅσα, κατευωχουμένοις δὲ τὰ ἱερεῖα ἐν κοινῷ ἀνάλωμα οὐδὲν ἐς αὐτὰ γίνεσθαι·
The infinitives θύειν and γίνεσθαι are coordinated explanatory/content infinitives dependent on σόφισμα; κατευωχουμένοις is a dative plural participle, probably circumstantial with implied subjects, while τὰ ἱερεῖα is its accusative object. The construction means that although they sacrificed abundantly, no expense accrued to the communal sacred victims when they feasted on them.
