ἐλέγετο δὲ καὶ μήνιμα ἐς τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίους ἐκ τῶν θυγατέρων εἶναι τῶν Σκεδάσου.

Σκεδάσῳ γὰρ περὶ Λεῦκτρα οἰκοῦντι θυγατέρες Μολπία γίνεται καὶ Ἱππώ· ταύτας ἐς ὥραν ἤδη προηκούσας Λακεδαιμονίων ἄνδρες βιάζονται παρὰ θέμιδα ς καὶ Φρουραρχίδας καὶ Παρθένιος.
The text appears corrupt at tokens 21–22 (θέμιδα ς), and the participle προηκούσας has uncertain attachment; it most plausibly modifies ταύτας, while the final names are governed by παρά and may be corrupt or elliptical.

καὶ αἵ τε παρθένοι παραυτίκα---οὐ γάρ σφισιν ἀνεκτὰ ἐφαίνετο εἶναι τὰ τῆς ὕβρεως---ἀπάγχουσιν αὑτάς·
The main clause has coordinated καὶ ... τε and subject αἵ παρθένοι, with ἀπάγχουσιν understood as present active ‘hang/strangle’; the dash-delimited causal parenthesis is οὐ ... ἐφαίνετο εἶναι, with τὰ τῆς ὕβρεως as the neuter plural subject/predicate notion. The exact morphology of παραυτίκα and the idiom ἀπάγχω are somewhat uncertain.
