indeed what the traditional grammarians call an ablative construction. 

To solve the larger problem, I consulted John Huther (Meyer's Handbook) and I
will now take a stab at a conclusion of my own (risky?). In the following:

DEICATW EK THS KALHS ANASTROFHS
TA ERGA AUTOU EN PRAUTHTI SOFIAS.

The object of the verb is TA ERGA.  The constituent EN PRAUTHTI SOFIAS is
adverbially related to DEICATW. The constituent EK THS KALHS ANASTROFHS is
either adverbial limiting  DEICATW or perhaps adjectival limiting TA ERGA. I
lean toward the former but would not be dogmatic about it.

This will NOT solve all of your problems with this passage, I am sure.
