λέγουσι δὲ οἱ Πελληνεῖς καὶ ἄδυτον τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς καθήκειν ἐς βάθος τῆς γῆς, εἶναι δὲ τὸ ἄδυτον τοῦτο ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγάλματος τῷ βάθρῳ, καὶ τὸν ἀέρα ἐκ τοῦ ἀδύτου νότιόν τε εἶναι καὶ διʼ αὐτὸ τῷ ἐλέφαντι ἐπιτήδειον.
λέγουσι governs coordinated infinitival clauses in indirect discourse: ἄδυτον ... καθήκειν and τὸ ἄδυτον ... εἶναι, τὸν ἀέρα ... εἶναι. The first ἄδυτον is neuter accusative as infinitive subject; ὑπό + genitive likely expresses location beneath the statue, while τῷ βάθρῳ is a dative of position/reference. διʼ αὐτό is causal (‘because of this’), with ἐπιτήδειον agreeing with τὸν ἀέρα.
