Open translation for this passage
τὰ δὲ ἐς τὸν τρίτον τῶν ναῶν, ὅτι ἐγένετο ἐκ χαλκοῦ, θαῦμα οὐδέν, εἴ γε Ἀκρίσιος μὲν θάλαμον χαλκοῦν τῇ θυγατρὶ ἐποιήσατο, Λακεδαιμονίοις δὲ Ἀθηνᾶς ἱερὸν Χαλκιοίκου καὶ ἐς ἡμᾶς ἔτι λείπεται,
The sentence has a main nominal clause θαῦμα οὐδέν, followed by a conditional μέν...δέ parenthesis: Acrisius made a bronze chamber for his daughter, while the Lacedaemonians’ bronze-house Athena sanctuary still remains down to the author’s time. The final clause is somewhat elliptical in its coordination and dative construction.

οὕτω καὶ ναὸν τῷ Ἀπόλλωνι οὐκ ἂν ἄπο γε τοῦ εἰκότος εἴη γενέσθαι χαλκοῦν.
The sentence is an elliptical potential construction: ναὸν ... χαλκοῦν [εἶναι/γενέσθαι] with τῷ Ἀπόλλωνι as dative of dedication; τοῦ εἰκότος is a substantivized genitive participle, ‘of what is likely/probable’. ἄπο is the adverbial form of ἀπό, modifying εἰκότος/εἴη construction; attachment is somewhat uncertain.
