Open translation for this passage
ὅστις δὲ ὁ καταστησάμενος Θεσπιεῦσιν Ἔρωτα θεῶν σέβεσθαι μάλιστα, οὐκ οἶδα.
ὅστις introduces a substantive relative subject (‘whoever’); the aorist participle καταστησάμενος agrees with its understood subject and governs the infinitive σέβεσθαι. Θεσπιεῦσιν is dative of the people for whom the cult was established; Ἔρωτα is the accusative subject of the infinitive. Exact attachment of δέ is mildly uncertain.

σέβονται δὲ οὐδέν τι ἧσσον καὶ Ἑλλησποντίων Παριανοί, τὸ μὲν ἀνέκαθεν ἐξ Ἰωνίας καὶ Ἐρυθρῶν ἀπῳκισμένοι, τὰ δὲ ἐφʼ ἡμῶν τελοῦντες ἐς Ῥωμαίους.
Main verb σέβονται takes the coordinated comparative object phrase οὐδέν τι ἧσσον καὶ Ἑλλησποντίων Παριανοί; the two participial phrases are appositional predicates modifying Παριανοί, with τὸ μέν...τὰ δέ... contrasting origins and present political status. Ἑλλησποντίων is an elliptical genitive partitive/comparative complement, interpreted as ‘than the Hellespontines’.
