Νύμφαι δέ εἰσι καὶ Πᾶνες ἐπὶ τῷ τρίτῳ, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ τετάρτῳ Πολύβιος ὁ Λυκόρτα·
Two coordinated existential clauses: Νύμφαι and Πᾶνες are nominative subjects of εἰσι (with omitted/copular context), while Πολύβιος ὁ Λυκόρτα is a nominative subject/name in the second clause; ἐπί + dative marks location/order. Λυκόρτα is the patronymic/name form, analyzed as apposition to Πολύβιος.

καί οἱ ἐπίγραμμά ἐστιν ἐξ ἀρχῆς τε μὴ ἂν σφαλῆναι τὴν Ἑλλάδα, εἰ Πολυβίῳ τὰ πάντα ἐπείθετο, καὶ ἁμαρτούσῃ διʼ ἐκείνου βοήθειαν αὐτῇ γενέσθαι μόνου.
The sentence presents an inscription: Greece would not have stumbled if it had obeyed Polybius in everything, and, having erred, would through him alone have received aid. The dative ἁμαρτούσῃ is concessive/circumstantial, referring to Ἑλλάδα; μόνου is a genitive of restriction with διʼ ἐκείνου.

πρὸ δὲ τοῦ ναοῦ Δήμητρί τέ ἐστι βωμὸς καὶ ἕτερος Δεσποίνῃ, μετʼ αὐτὸν δὲ μεγάλης Μητρός.
The first clause has a prepositional phrase πρὸ τοῦ ναοῦ modifying ἐστι, with coordinated predicate subjects βωμός (with Δήμητρι dative) and ἕτερος βωμός understood (with Δεσποίνῃ); μετά with accusative αὐτόν introduces the final elliptical clause, μεγάλης Μητρός modifying an understood βωμός or altar. The gender/number of μεγάλης Μητρός is feminine singular genitive, so the final phrase is best treated as an elliptical genitive dependent on an understood altar dedicated to the Great Mother.
