καὶ δὴ Ὅμηρον, Ἄρει τὸν Ἀγαμέμνονα ποιήσαντα ἐοικέναι τὴν ζώνην, τῶν ὅπλων τὴν σκευήν φασιν εἰκάζειν.
The accusative-and-infinitive construction depends on φασιν: Homer is the accusative subject of ἐοικέναι, with ποιήσαντα as a supplementary participle agreeing with Ὅμηρον; τὴν ζώνην is the object of ποιήσαντα, and τὴν σκευήν is the object of εἰκάζειν, with τῶν ὅπλων as its dependent genitive. The exact scope of the infinitives is somewhat compressed.
