μόνους δὲ Ἑλλήνων οἶδα Ἀργείους ἐς τρεῖς βασιλείας νεμηθέντας.
οἶδα governs an accusative-and-participial construction: Ἀργείους ... νεμηθέντας, with μόνους as an accusative predicative modifier; ἐς τρεῖς βασιλείας expresses the division into three kingdoms. The participle is aorist passive, though semantically the Argives are understood as having been divided.

ἀπὸ μὲν δὴ Βίαντος βασιλεύουσι πέντε ἄνδρες ἐπὶ γενεὰς τέσσαρας ἐς Κυάνιππον τὸν Αἰγιαλέως, ὄντες Νηλεῖδαι τὰ πρὸς μητρός, ἀπὸ δὲ Μελάμποδος γενεαί τε ἓξ καὶ ἄνδρες ἴσοι μέχρις Ἀμφιλόχου τοῦ Ἀμφιαράου·
The sentence coordinates two genealogical counts: five kings from Bias through Cyanippus, and six generations with an equal number of men from Melampus through Amphilochus. The participle ὄντες agrees with the first subject (ἄνδρες) and Νηλεῖδαι is a predicate nominative; τὰ πρὸς μητρός is an idiomatic maternal-side specification.
