Κυμαῖοι δὲ οἱ ἐν Ὀπικοῖς συὸς ὀδόντας ἀνακειμένους παρὰ σφίσιν ἐν Ἀπόλλωνος ἱερῷ λόγῳ μὲν λέγουσιν ὡς οἱ ὀδόντες ὑὸς εἶεν τοῦ Ἐρυμανθίου, τῷ λόγῳ δὲ αὐτῶν οὐδὲ ἐπʼ ὀλίγον μέτεστι τοῦ εἰκότος.
The sentence has a fronted subject Κυμαῖοι with object ὀδόντας and a genitive absolute-like/attributive participial phrase; λέγουσιν takes an ὡς content clause with optative εἶεν in reported speech. The final μέτεστι construction is impersonal, with τοῦ εἰκότος as a partitive genitive; some attachment of λόγῳ and the participle is mildly uncertain.
