ὁ δὲ τρίτος τῶν λόγων ἥκιστα ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν ἀληθής ἐστιν, Ἀρσινόης ποιήσας εἶναι τῆς Λευκίππου παῖδα Ἀσκληπιόν.
The sentence is elliptical and difficult: δοκεῖν ἀληθής ἐστιν is treated as the main predication, with the participial phrase ποιήσας ... εἶναι introducing the claim that Asclepius was made a child of Arsinoe, daughter of Leucippus.

Vocative apostrophe with a relative clause: ὃν is the object of ἔτικτεν; βλαστὼν is a participial epithet/predicate of Ἀσκληπιέ, while μιγεῖσα and ἱμερόεσσα describe Κορωνίς. The phrase ἐμοὶ φιλότητι is interpreted as dative of relation/benefit with μιγεῖσα, though the exact construction is somewhat poetic.
