ὡς δὲ τὸν οἶκον τὸν Ἀμφίονος καὶ Ζήθου τὸν μὲν ἡ νόσος ἡ λοιμώδης ἠρήμωσε, Ζήθῳ δὲ τὸν παῖδα ἀπέκτεινεν ἡ τεκοῦσα κατὰ δή τινα ἁμαρτίαν, ἐτεθνήκει δὲ ὑπὸ λύπης καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Ζῆθος, οὕτω Λάιον ἐπὶ βασιλείᾳ κατάγουσιν οἱ Θηβαῖοι.

ὡς introduces a temporal/comparative framing clause: after the house had been devastated and Zethus had died, the Thebans bring Laius back to the kingship. The repeated accusatives τὸν οἶκον ... τὸν μὲν and τὸν παῖδα are objects of their respective verbs; τεκοῦσα is the substantivized participle ‘the mother who bore him’.
