Open translation for this passage
προελθόντι δὲ οὐ πολὺ τάφος ἐστὶν Ἄργου Διὸς εἶναι δοκοῦντος καὶ τῆς Φορωνέως Νιόβης·
The sentence has a locative dative participle προελθόντι (‘as one proceeds’), with τάφος as subject of ἐστίν and an infinitival complement dependent on δοκοῦντος; the genitive phrases identify the tomb as seemingly belonging to Argos, Zeus, and Niobe. The attachment of δοκοῦντος is syntactically somewhat compressed and therefore marked medium confidence.
