Open translation for this passage
ὁπόσα δὲ εἶναι τῶν Ἡφαίστου ποιηταί τε ᾄδουσι καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἠκολούθηκεν ἡ φήμη, τούτων, ὅτι μὴ τὸ Ἀγαμέμνονος σκῆπτρον, ἄλλο γε οὐδὲν ἀξιόχρεών ἐστιν ἐς πίστιν.
The sentence has a compressed resumptive structure: the initial ὁπόσα-clause supplies the things under discussion, while the final copular clause states that none is credible for purposes of trust except Agamemnon’s scepter; attachment of εἶναι and the genitive τῶν Ἡφαίστου is consequently somewhat interpretive.

Λύκιοι μέν γε ἐν Πατάροις ἐν τῷ ναῷ τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος χαλκοῦν ἐπιδεικνύουσι κρατῆρα, ἀνάθημα εἶναι φάμενοι Τηλέφου καὶ ἔργον Ἡφαίστου· καὶ σφᾶς, ὥς γε εἰκός, λέληθε Θεοδώραν καὶ Ῥοῖκον Σαμίους εἶναι τοὺς διαχέαντας χαλκὸν πρώτους.
The sentence has two coordinated finite predicates (ἐπιδεικνύουσι and λέληθε). In the second, the infinitive εἶναι with accusative subject τοὺς διαχέαντας expresses the content of what escaped Θεοδώραν καὶ Ῥοῖκον; σφᾶς is treated cautiously as an accusative pronoun associated with the impersonal construction.
