τῆς χώρας δὲ ἐπὶ τῇ λάρνακι τῆς δευτέρας ἐξ ἀριστερῶν μὲν γίνοιτο ἂν ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς περιόδου.
The sentence is elliptical/descriptive: ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς περιόδου is the subject of γίνοιτο ἄν; τῆς χώρας is a partitive/genitival frame, and ἐπὶ τῇ λάρνακι τῆς δευτέρας specifies location/reference. The μὲν is correlative or left loosely adversative without an expressed δέ.

πεποίηται δὲ γυνὴ παῖδα λευκὸν καθεύδοντα ἀνέχουσα τῇ δεξιᾷ χειρί, τῇ δὲ ἑτέρᾳ μέλανα ἔχει παῖδα καθεύδοντι ἐοικότα, ἀμφοτέρους διεστραμμένους τοὺς πόδας.
The first participial phrase describes the woman holding a white sleeping child; the second clause has an understood subject γυνή and an accusative παῖδα with participial/comparative modifiers. The final accusatives ἀμφοτέρους τοὺς πόδας are a shared object of the depiction/holding construction; attachment of διεστραμμένους is treated as predicative modifier of πόδας.
