ἀποθανόντος δὲ τοῦ Λίνου τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ πένθος διῆλθεν ἄρα καὶ ἄχρι τῆς βαρβάρου πάσης, ὡς καὶ Αἰγυπτίοις ᾆσμα γενέσθαι Λίνον· καλοῦσι δὲ τὸ ᾆσμα Αἰγύπτιοι τῇ ἐπιχωρίῳ φωνῇ Μανέρων.
Genitive absolute ἀποθανόντος ... Λίνου sets the temporal frame; ὡς introduces an epexegetic/result clause with infinitive γενέσθαι and predicative Λίνον. In the second clause, τὸ ᾆσμα is object of καλοῦσι, while Μανέρων is the name assigned in the locative/dative phrase τῇ ἐπιχωρίῳ φωνῇ.
