Open translation for this passage
Τρικρήνων δὲ οὐ πόρρω ἄλλο ἐστὶν ὄρος Σηπία, καὶ Αἰπύτῳ τῷ Ἐλάτου λέγουσιν ἐνταῦθα γενέσθαι τὴν τελευτὴν ἐκ τοῦ ὄφεως, καί οἱ καὶ τὸν τάφον ἐποίησαν αὐτόθι· οὐ γὰρ οἷά τε ἦν σφισιν ἐς τὸ πρόσω φέρειν τὸν νεκρόν.
Mixed parataxis: first clause with existential ἐστίν, then reported speech with infinitive γενέσθαι, and a final causal clause with οἷά τε ἦν + infinitive φέρειν; some attachment of particles and the appositive/toponymic phrases is uncertain.
