διαβάντων δὲ μετὰ μὲν δύο ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀλφειοῦ σταδίους Μακαρεῶν ἐστιν ἐρείπια,
Locative/existential clause: διαβάντων is an absolute genitive ('after crossing'), while δύο σταδίους is an accusative measure phrase; ἐρείπια is the neuter plural subject/predicate of ἐστίν, with Μακαρεῶν as its genitive attribute. The syntax of μετὰ μέν is somewhat elliptical/uncertain, likely introducing the distance sequence.
