Open translation for this passage
ἐπὶ δὲ Σίμου τοῦ Φιάλου βασιλεύοντος ἠφανίσθη Φιγαλεῦσιν ὑπὸ πυρὸς τῆς Μελαίνης Δήμητρος τὸ ἀρχαῖον ξόανον· ἐσήμαινε δὲ ἄρα οὐ μετὰ πολὺ ἔσεσθαι καὶ αὐτῷ Σίμῳ τοῦ βίου τὴν τελευτήν.
Two coordinated clauses: a genitive absolute frames the first event; ἐσήμαινε takes an accusative-and-infinitive construction, with ἔσεσθαι coordinated with an elided or implicit future interpretation and τὴν τελευτήν as its accusative subject. The exact attachment of αὐτῷ is somewhat ambiguous, but it is dative with Σίμῳ appositional/epexegetical.

ἀντὶ τούτου ἐτίμησεν ὁ Πόμπος μεγάλως, καὶ δὴ καὶ ὄνομα Αἰγινήτην τῷ παιδὶ ἔθετο ἐπὶ τῶν Αἰγινητῶν τῇ φιλίᾳ.
The sentence has a coordinated main verb phrase; τῷ παιδί is the recipient/addressee of ἔθετο, while ὄνομα Αἰγινήτην is the object plus predicative name. ἐπὶ τῶν Αἰγινητῶν τῇ φιλίᾳ is a somewhat elliptical causal/occasion phrase (‘in view of his friendship with the Aeginetans’); τῇ φιλίᾳ is treated as an instrumental/causal dative dependent on ἐπί.
