Open translation for this passage
τὰ μὲν οὖν ἐς αὐτὸν Ἀρίονα καὶ τὰ ἐπὶ τῷ δελφῖνι Ἡρόδοτος εἶπεν ἀκοὴν ἐν τῇ Λυδίᾳ συγγραφῇ·
Ἡρόδοτος is the subject of εἶπεν; τὰ μὲν ... καὶ τὰ ... are coordinated topicalized objects, with ἐς αὐτὸν Ἀρίονα specifying the first and ἐπὶ τῷ δελφῖνι the second. ἀκοὴν is the object/predicate content of εἶπεν, meaning a report heard in the Lydian account; the exact attachment of ἀκοὴν is somewhat elliptical.

τὸν δὲ ἐν Ποροσελήνῃ δελφῖνα τῷ παιδὶ σῶστρα ἀποδιδόντα, ὅτι συγκοπέντα ὑπὸ ἁλιέων αὐτὸν ἰάσατο, τοῦτον τὸν δελφῖνα εἶδον καὶ καλοῦντι τῷ παιδὶ ὑπακούοντα καὶ φέροντα, ὁπότε ἐποχεῖσθαί οἱ βούλοιτο.
Main predicate εἶδον takes an object-chain: τοῦτον τὸν δελφῖνα, modified by participles ὑπακούοντα and φέροντα; the initial accusative participial phrase δελφῖνα ... ἀποδιδόντα is a resumptive/topic-like object description. In ὅτι-clause, αὐτόν is the object of ἰάσατο, while συγκοπέντα is an accusative participle agreeing with it; οἱ is dative with ἐποχεῖσθαι.
