ἐκεῖνον μὲν δὴ αὖθις ἐξ ἐνυπνίων ἄλλων ὀπίσω τοῦ Λίνου τὰ ὀστᾶ ἐς Θήβας ἀποστεῖλαι,
Infinitival clause with an understood subject, likely dependent on a preceding verb: ‘to send those bones back to Thebes’; ἐκεῖνον is the accusative object of the understood/elliptical sending context, while τὰ ὀστᾶ is the accusative object of ἀποστεῖλαι. ὀπίσω τοῦ Λίνου means ‘back from/after Linus’ burial-context; the exact attachment of ἐκεῖνον is somewhat uncertain.
