παραλογώτατον δὲ ἐπυνθανόμην ὑπάρξαν Λιπαραίοις ἐς Τυρσηνούς.
The sentence has an impersonal first-person frame, ‘I learned/heard it was most unreasonable’; ὑπάρξαν is an accusative neuter singular aorist participle agreeing with παραλογώτατον, with the dative Λιπαραίοις as its experiencer/possessor and ἐς Τυρσηνούς as its goal or relation complement. The exact scope of ἐς is somewhat uncertain.
