ὁ δὲ τὰ ἔπη τὰ ἐς Εὐρώπην ποιήσας φησὶν Ἀμφίονα χρήσασθαι λύρᾳ πρῶτον Ἑρμοῦ διδάξαντος· πεποίηκε δὲ καὶ περὶ λίθων καὶ θηρίων, ὅτι καὶ ταῦτα ᾄδων ἦγε.
The subject ὁ ποιήσας is the implied author of the quoted report; φησίν governs the infinitival clause Ἀμφίονα χρήσασθαι. Ἑρμοῦ διδάξαντος is a genitive absolute, while ὅτι introduces the causal/content clause with ταῦτα as object of ἦγε.
