καὶ ἐπίθημα ἐπʼ αὐτῷ περιφερές ἐστιν, ἔχον ἐντὸς Δήμητρος πρόσωπον Κιδαρίας·

The sentence coordinates a nominal subject ἐπίθημα with a copular predicate περιφερές ἐστιν; ἔχον agrees with ἐπίθημα, and ἐντός governs the genitive Δήμητρος, with πρόσωπον as its object/appositional content and Κιδαρίας dependent on πρόσωπον. The exact semantic relation of Κιδαρίας is somewhat uncertain (likely a genitive proper name).

τοῦτο ὁ ἱερεὺς περιθέμενος τὸ πρόσωπον ἐν τῇ μείζονι καλουμένῃ τελετῇ ῥάβδοις κατὰ λόγον δή τινα τοὺς ὑποχθονίους παίει.

τοῦτο is the demonstrative object of παίει; περιθέμενος is a circumstantial aorist participle with reflexive sense, and καλουμένῃ agrees with τελετῇ. The phrase κατὰ λόγον δή τινα is an adverbial expression, with τινα modifying λόγον.

Φενεατῶν δέ ἐστι λόγος, καὶ πρὶν ἢ Ναὸν ἀφικέσθαι γὰρ καὶ ἐνταῦθα Δήμητρα πλανωμένην· ὅσοι δὲ Φενεατῶν οἴκῳ τε καὶ ξενίοις ἐδέξαντο αὐτήν, τούτοις τὰ ὄσπρια ἡ θεὸς τὰ ἄλλα, κύαμον δὲ οὐκ ἔδωκέ σφισι.

The sentence contains an elliptical and somewhat corrupt-looking πρὶν ἢ ... γάρ construction; Ναὸν is treated as an accusative destination with ἀφικέσθαι, while Δήμητρα πλανωμένην is an accusative absolute-like temporal adjunct. In the relative clause, ὅσοι is the subject of ἐδέξαντο, with Φενεατῶν partitive genitive; τὰ ἄλλα contrasts with κύαμον, and σφισι is a dative recipient.
