Open translation for this passage
Φενεάταις δὲ καὶ Δήμητρός ἐστιν ἱερὸν ἐπίκλησιν Ἐλευσινίας, καὶ ἄγουσι τῇ θεῷ τελετήν, τὰ Ἐλευσῖνι δρώμενα καὶ παρὰ σφίσι τὰ αὐτὰ φάσκοντες καθεστηκέναι·
The sentence has an existential construction: Φενεάταις is the dative possessor, ἱερόν the subject, and ἐπίκλησιν Ἐλευσινίας an accusative of respect/name. In the coordinated clause, τὰ Ἐλευσῖνι δρώμενα is the object of ἄγουσι, while the following participial infinitival complement explains the ritual claim; καθεστηκέναι is perfect active infinitive with φάσκοντες.

παρὰ δὲ τῆς Ἐλευσινίας τὸ ἱερὸν πεποίηται Πέτρωμα καλούμενον, λίθοι δύο ἡρμοσμένοι πρὸς ἀλλήλους μεγάλοι.
