Open translation for this passage
κληθῆναι δὲ τὰ ὄρη Νόμια προχειρότατον μέν ἐστιν εἰκάζειν ἐπὶ τοῦ Πανὸς ταῖς νομαῖς, αὐτοὶ δὲ οἱ Ἀρκάδες νύμφης εἶναί φασιν ὄνομα.
Infinitival subject κληθῆναι τὰ ὄρη Νόμια is construed with προχειρότατον ἐστιν; εἰκάζειν is a complementary infinitive, with ἐπί + dative expressing the proposed association. The second clause reports the Arcadians’ claim that Νόμια is the name of a nymph; αὐτοί is emphatic subject and ὄνομα is predicate nominative.
