Open translation for this passage
ἐποίησεν Ἑρμῆν ξύλου καὶ Ἀφροδίτης ξόανον· καὶ ταύτης χεῖρές εἰσι λίθου καὶ πρόσωπόν τε καὶ ἄκροι πόδες.
The clause beginning καὶ ταύτης is coordinated with the making statement. The body-part list is syntactically irregular: χεῖρές and πόδες are nominative subjects, while πρόσωπόν is accusative in the transmitted text; this is retained rather than normalized.

τὴν δὲ ἐπίκλησιν τῇ θεῷ Μαχανῖτιν ὀρθότατα ἔθεντο ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν· Ἀφροδίτης τε γὰρ ἕνεκα καὶ ἔργων τῶν ταύτης πλεῖσται μὲν ἐπιτεχνήσεις, παντοῖα δὲ ἀνθρώποις ἀνευρημένα ἐς λόγους ἐστίν.
The first clause has an accusative object τὴν ἐπίκλησιν with predicate accusative Μαχανῖτιν and ἔθεντο; ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν is an impersonal parenthetical expressing the annotator’s judgment. The second clause is nominal/existential: πλεῖσται ἐπιτεχνήσεις and παντοῖα ἀνευρημένα are coordinated subjects/predicative descriptions, with ἐς λόγους marking the sphere or purpose of what has been devised.
