τὸ μὲν δὴ τῆς Ἐρινύος τήν τε κίστην καλουμένην ἔχει καὶ ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ δᾷδα, μέγεθος δὲ εἰκάζομεν ἐννέα εἶναι ποδῶν αὐτήν·
The first clause has an elided third-person subject (‘she’/the Erinys statue understood); τὸ ... τῆς Ἐρινύος is a substantivized neuter accusative phrase, with τήν ... κίστην and δᾷδα coordinated objects of ἔχει. In the second clause, αὐτήν is the subject accusative of the infinitive εἶναι, while μέγεθος is a predicative accusative; the phrase ἐννέα ποδῶν expresses measure.

τὴν δὲ Δήμητρα τεκεῖν φασιν ἐκ τοῦ Ποσειδῶνος θυγατέρα, ἧς τὸ ὄνομα ἐς ἀτελέστους λέγειν οὐ νομίζουσι, καὶ ἵππον τὸν Ἀρείονα·
The sentence reports that they say Demeter bore a daughter and the horse Areion; the following clause explains that her name is not customarily spoken to the uninitiated. The coordination around καὶ may be analyzed as joining a second accusative complement to τεκεῖν or an elliptical infinitival phrase.

ἐπὶ τούτῳ δὲ παρὰ σφίσιν Ἀρκάδων πρώτοις Ἵππιον Ποσειδῶνα ὀνομασθῆναι.
Infinitival clause depends on an understood preceding verb (likely λέγουσι/φασίν): ὀνομασθῆναι is the passive infinitive, with Ἵππιον Ποσειδῶνα as its accusative subject/predicate naming construction; ἐπὶ τούτῳ is a temporal/circumstantial adjunct. The attachment of παρὰ σφίσιν and πρώτοις is somewhat interpretive.
