κρηπὶς μὲν ἐν κύκλῳ περιβέβληται λίθου λευκοῦ, περίοδος δὲ τῆς κρηπῖδος κατὰ ἅλων τὴν ἐλαχίστην ἐστίν, ὕψος δὲ ἀποδέουσα δύο εἶναι πήχεις·
The sentence contains coordinated descriptive clauses; the final ἀποδέουσα ... εἶναι measurement construction is syntactically difficult, especially because ἀποδέουσα is feminine while ὕψος is neuter.

ἐφεστήκασι δὲ ἐπὶ τῇ κρηπῖδι ὀβελοὶ καὶ αὐτοὶ χαλκοῖ καὶ αἱ συνέχουσαι σφᾶς ζῶναι, διὰ δὲ αὐτῶν θύραι πεποίηνται.
Two coordinated clauses: ὀβελοί is the subject of ἐφεστήκασι, while θύραι is the subject of the passive πεποίηνται; συνέχουσαι modifies ζῶναι, with σφᾶς as its object. The form πεποίηνται is perfect middle/passive indicative, likely passive here.
