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 syntax is two coordinated finite clauses, with the second expanded by a participial phrase (φάσκοντες ...) containing an infinitival complement; ἐπίκλησιν Ἐλευσινίας is somewhat semantically compressed and annotated conservatively.
