Σέλευκον δὲ βασιλέων ἐν τοῖς μάλιστα πείθομαι καὶ ἄλλως γενέσθαι δίκαιον καὶ πρὸς τὸ θεῖον εὐσεβῆ.
The accusative Σέλευκον is the understood subject of the complementary infinitives γενέσθαι and (with coordinated adjectives) is judged to have become δίκαιος and εὐσεβής; βασιλέων is a partitive genitive with τοῖς μάλιστα, ‘among kings’.
