λαβόντες δὲ γράμματα ἐξ αὐτῶν ἔχοντα ἐς τὴν τελετὴν καὶ ἀναγνόντες ἐς ἐπήκοον τῶν μυστῶν, κατέθεντο ἐν νυκτὶ αὖθις τῇ αὐτῇ.
The coordinated participles λαβόντες and ἀναγνόντες are adverbial, sharing the understood subject of κατέθεντο. γράμματα is the object of λαβόντες and subject of the attributive participle ἔχοντα; ἐς ἐπήκοον means 'within hearing', with τῶν μυστῶν dependent on ἐπήκοον. The exact antecedent of αὐτῶν is context-dependent.

Φενεατῶν δὲ οἶδα τοὺς πολλοὺς καὶ ὀμνύντας ὑπὲρ μεγίστων τῷ Πετρώματι.
οἶδα governs the accusative τοὺς πολλοὺς with the coordinated participle ὀμνύντας; Φενεατῶν is a partitive genitive, and τῷ Πετρώματι is the dative object/instrument of ὀμνύντας. The case of μεγίστων is formally ambiguous but is taken as genitive plural agreeing substantivally with an understood μεγίστων (ὅρκων/πραγμάτων) after ὑπέρ.
