Open translation for this passage
τὸν δὲ Ἑρμῆν λέγουσι τὸν Πρόμαχον Ἐρετριέων ναυσὶν ἐξ Εὐβοίας ἐς τὴν Ταναγραίαν σχόντων τούς τε ἐφήβους ἐξαγαγεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν μάχην καὶ αὐτὸν ὅτε ἔφηβον στλεγγίδι ἀμυνόμενον μάλιστα ἐργάσασθαι τῶν Εὐβοέων τροπήν.
λέγουσι governs two coordinated aorist infinitives; σχόντων is best analyzed as a genitive-absolute participial clause, while αὐτὸν ἀμυνόμενον is an accusative participial construction inside the second infinitive.

κεῖται δὲ ἐν τοῦ Προμάχου τῷ ἱερῷ τῆς τε ἀνδράχνου τὸ ὑπόλοιπον· τραφῆναι δὲ ὑπὸ τῷ δένδρῳ τὸν Ἑρμῆν τούτῳ νομίζουσιν.
The first clause has κεῖται with a locative ἐν-phrase; τὸ ὑπόλοιπον is the subject, with τῆς ἀνδράχνου coordinated by τε. The second clause is an accusative-and-infinitive construction: τὸν Ἑρμῆν is the infinitive's subject, τραφῆναι its passive infinitive, and τούτῳ likely refers to the tree in the dative of means/instrument; the antecedent and exact force are somewhat uncertain.

εὖ δέ μοι Ταναγραῖοι νομίσαι τὰ ἐς τοὺς θεοὺς μάλιστα δοκοῦσιν Ἑλλήνων· χωρὶς μὲν γὰρ αἱ οἰκίαι σφίσι, χωρὶς δὲ τὰ ἱερὰ ὑπὲρ αὐτὰς ἐν καθαρῷ τέ ἐστι καὶ ἐκτὸς ἀνθρώπων.
The first clause is an impersonal recommendation/request: μοι is the experiencer, Ταναγραῖοι the accusative-and-infinitive subject, and νομίσαι the infinitive. δοκοῦσιν agrees with Ἕλληνες understood as the subject of the relative-like clause modifying τὰ ἐς τοὺς θεούς; the second clause describes the shrines as separate and clean, with ἐστι coordinated predicates and ἱερά as subject.
