ἐκ δὲ τῶν Ποτνιῶν ἰοῦσιν ἐς Θήβας ἔστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ περίβολος τῆς ὁδοῦ τε οὐ μέγας καὶ κίονες ἐν αὐτῷ·

Main clause has existential ἔστιν with περίβολος as its postposed subject; ἰοῦσιν is a dative plural participle, likely agreeing with an implicit/understood travelers subject. The final καὶ coordinates a second nominal clause with omitted/copular ἔστιν.

διαστῆναι δὲ Ἀμφιαράῳ τὴν γῆν ταύτῃ νομίζουσιν, ἐπιλέγοντες καὶ τάδε ἔτι, μήτε ὄρνιθας ἐπὶ τῶν κιόνων καθέζεσθαι τούτων μήτε πόαν τὴν ἐνταῦθα μήτε ἥμερον ζῷον μήτε τῶν ἀγρίων νέμεσθαι.

Infinitival διαστῆναι is the accusative-and-infinitive complement of νομίζουσιν, with Ἀμφιαράῳ as dative experiencer/possessor and τὴν γῆν as its subject; the later coordinated infinitives depend on ἐπιλέγοντες and express reported prohibitive claims. The final νέμεσθαι has an elliptical subject, understood from the preceding animals, and τῶν ἀγρίων is a partitive genitive.
