ἐπʼ ἐμοῦ δὲ ἐρείπια ἡ Βασιλὶς ἦν καὶ Δήμητρος ἱερὸν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐλείπετο Ἐλευσινίας.
The sentence has an initial locative/temporal frame ἐπʼ ἐμοῦ and a copular clause, followed by a coordinated clause: the sanctuary of Demeter Eleusinia was left among the ruins. Βασιλὶς is feminine singular nominative, agreeing with the predicate noun ἐρείπια only in the loose sense of a place/name construction; ἡ Βασιλὶς is treated as the subject/topic of ἦν, with ἐρείπια as predicate nominative. Ἐλευσινίας modifies Δήμητρος.
