Open translation for this passage
δεύτερα δὲ ἀδελφὸν ἀπέκτεινεν Ἀργαῖον ἐπιβουλεύοντα, ὡς λέγεται, καὶ τὸν Ἀλεξάνδρου νεκρὸν οὗτος ὁ καταγαγὼν ἦν ἐκ Μέμφιδος·
The sentence has an initial ordinal adverbial δεύτερα and an omitted subject for ἀπέκτεινεν; Ἀργαῖον is the object, modified by the participle ἐπιβουλεύοντα. The second clause is a cleft-like relative identification: οὗτος ὁ καταγαγὼν ἦν, with τὸν νεκρὸν Ἀλεξάνδρου as the understood/foregrounded object or predicate-associated noun phrase; attachment of τὸν νεκρόν is syntactically somewhat uncertain.

Μάγας δὲ ἀδελφὸς ὁμομήτριος Πτολεμαίου παρὰ Βερενίκης τῆς μητρὸς ἀξιωθεὶς ἐπιτροπεύειν Κυρήνην--- ἐγεγόνει δὲ ἐκ Φιλίππου τῇ Βερενίκῃ Μακεδόνος μέν, ἄλλως δὲ ἀγνώστου καὶ ἑνὸς τοῦ δήμου---, τότε δὴ οὗτος ὁ Μάγας ἀποστήσας Πτολεμαίου Κυρηναίους ἤλαυνεν ἐπʼ Αἴγυπτον.
Μάγας is the matrix subject; the participial phrase ἀξιωθεὶς ἐπιτροπεύειν Κυρήνην is circumstantial. The dash-delimited clause explains Berenice's parentage; ἀποστήσας takes Πτολεμαίου as a genitive of separation and governs the final finite clause.
