Open translation for this passage
τῷ δὲ ἀνδριάντι τοῦ Ἐπαμινώνδου καὶ ἐλεγεῖα ἔπεστιν ἄλλα τε ἐς αὐτὸν λέγοντα καὶ ὅτι Μεσσήνης γένοιτο οἰκιστὴς καὶ τοῖς Ἕλλησιν ὑπάρξειεν ἐλευθερία διʼ αὐτοῦ.
The dative phrase τῷ ... ἀνδριάντι is the locus/theme of ἔπεστιν; ἄλλα τε ... καὶ ὅτι coordinates the inscriptions, with λέγοντα agreeing with ἄλλα and introducing an accusative-and-infinitive-like reported content. The forms γένοιτο and ὑπάρξειεν are optatives in indirect statement; Μεσσήνης is a genitive dependent on οἰκιστής, while διʼ αὐτοῦ expresses agency/instrument.
