προελθόντων δὲ σταδίους ὡς πεντήκοντα ἐκ Λυκουρίας, ἐπὶ τοῦ Λάδωνος ἀφίξῃ τὰς πηγάς·
Genitive absolute προελθόντων δέ introduces a temporal circumstance; σταδίους ὡς πεντήκοντα is an accusative measure phrase, and ἐπὶ τοῦ Λάδωνος governs the object τὰς πηγάς of ἀφίξῃ. The second-person future form ἀφίξῃ is morphologically ambiguous in isolation but is taken here as future middle indicative.
