Open translation for this passage
Κιναίθων δὲ ἐν τοῖς ἔπεσιν ἐποίησεν ὡς Ῥαδάμανθυς μὲν Ἡφαίστου, Ἥφαιστος δὲ εἴη Τάλω, Τάλων δὲ εἶναι Κρητὸς παῖδα.
The syntax is a reported-content construction after ἐποίησεν, with ὡς introducing a clause containing both optative εἴη and infinitival εἶναι; token 15 is morphologically ambiguous in isolation.
