Open translation for this passage
θεαὶ δὲ αἱ Μεγάλαι Δημήτηρ μὲν λίθου διὰ πάσης, ἡ δὲ Σώτειρα τὰ ἐσθῆτος ἐχόμενα ξύλου πεποίηται·
The sentence contrasts two goddesses: Δημήτηρ is made entirely of stone, whereas Soter's parts associated with clothing are made of wood. The phrase διὰ πάσης is elliptical for διὰ πάσης [λίθου?] or more naturally ‘entirely’; ἐσθῆτος ἐχόμενα is a neuter plural substantival participle, likely ‘the parts pertaining to clothing.’

εἶναι δὲ θυγατέρες τοῦ Δαμοφῶντος λέγονται, τοῖς δὲ ἐπανάγουσιν ἐς τὸ θειότερον δοκεῖ σφᾶς Ἀθηνᾶν τε εἶναι καὶ Ἄρτεμιν τὰ ἄνθη μετὰ τῆς Περσεφόνης συλλεγούσας.
Two coordinated constructions are present: λέγονται governs an infinitival predicate εἶναι θυγατέρες, while δοκεῖ governs σφᾶς εἶναι Ἀθηνᾶν τε καὶ Ἄρτεμιν, with συλλεγούσας agreeing with the coordinated feminine accusative predicates and taking τὰ ἄνθη as object. The form τοῖς ἐπανάγουσιν is substantival and semantically somewhat elliptical.
