καὶ νύμφαι Καβειρίδες, ἀπὸ Καβειροῦς τῆς Πρωτέως καὶ Ἀγχινόης, ἀφ´ ἧς καὶ Ἡφαίστου Κάδμιλος.
The nominal wording names the nymphs and gives an origin. Καβειροῦς is genitive feminine singular from Καβειρώ, governed by ἀπό. The parentage phrase with τῆς is elliptical. A further elliptical relative clause concerns Kadmilos.
Close translation: And the nymphs [are called] Kabeirides, from Kabeiro, [daughter] of Proteus and Anchinoe, from whom and Hephaistos [came] Kadmilos.

Interpretation and open choices
- observation: Καβειροῦς is not a masculine genitive of a name in -ος. The contracted feminine paradigm in -ώ and the following feminine article τῆς support Καβειρώ.
- observation: Πρωτέως and Ἀγχινόης are coordinated genitives specifying Kabeiro's parentage. '[Daughter]' makes the English relationship explicit but is not a visible Greek token.
- observation: The preferred parse treats ἧς καὶ Ἡφαίστου as coordinated sources under ἀπό: 'from whom and Hephaistos'. A second defensible parse treats καί as 'also' and Ἡφαίστου as a parentage genitive with Κάδμιλος. Both preserve the parentage; their dependencies differ.
- reference: LSJ, πειθώ: the comparable -ώ / -οῦς contracted feminine paradigm Reference
- uncertainty: No verb is expressed in either nominal clause. The first tree uses Καβειρίδες as a nominal predicate; an existential analysis with apposition is also possible.
- uncertainty: τῆς introduces an elliptical parentage phrase. The tree attaches it to Καβειροῦς as a resumptive attributive article and attaches the parent genitives to that name. A scheme with empty nodes for an omitted kinship noun would differ.
- uncertainty: The coordination-versus-additive reading of καὶ Ἡφαίστου remains open. The alternative attachments are recorded explicitly.
