Open translation for this passage
καὶ τὸν μὲν νόμῳ τῷ Μακεδόνων ἔθαπτεν ἐν Μέμφει, οἷα δὲ ἐπιστάμενος πολεμήσοντα Περδίκκαν Αἴγυπτον εἶχεν ἐν φυλακῇ.
The first clause has an understood subject (likely the antecedent from context) and a μὲν...δέ contrast. οἷα introduces a predicative circumstantial construction (‘as one who...’); ἐπιστάμενος governs the future participle πολεμήσοντα, whose accusative agrees with Περδίκκαν. Αἴγυπτον is the object of εἶχεν, while ἐν φυλακῇ is predicative/complementary. The attachment of οἷα is somewhat context-dependent.
