My attempt:
“He, as you would expect, seeing me (to be)an incredible possession, and my value, ordered (them) to pay to the one of the adminstrators who sold me another portion (of equal pay)…”
Problem 1: Matching the accusatives to their correct verbs. Could τὴν μὲν τιμὴν τὴν ἐμὴν be the object of καταβαλεῖν instead and thus he is asking them to go back and pay what he now believes to be Lucian the Ass’s true value plus a second equal payment on top?
Problem 2: My confusion as to whether the datives could represent two different individuals “ordered one (dative) of (his) administrators to pay the person (dative) who sold me”.
I think the accusative τὴν μὲν τιμὴν τὴν ἐμὴν is the subject in the dependent clause of κελεύει:
he ordered that my value be paid…
I’m not sure but it seems the substantive dative participle τῷ
ἐμὲ ὠνασαμένῳ refers to τῶν διοικητῶν τινι and ἐμὲ are its direct object:
he ordered that my value be paid to one of the administrators who had purchased me and
to the same sum*.
LSJ reads ἄλλοι τοσοῦτοι as to the same number. I assume the neuter here refers to the sum paid.
I would say it says that he ordered one of the officials to pay to whoever had bought Lucian before twice the price he paid for Lucian. So X orders Y to pay Z twice the money Z paid for Lucian.
As for the syntactical order, ὁ ὁρων κελεύει τινι (τῶν διοικητῶν) καταβαλεῖν (τινά being the subject of καταβαλεῖν) τῷ ὠνασαμένῳ (ἐμὲ ) τὴν τιμὴν τὴν ἐμὴν καὶ ἄλλο τοσοῦτον.
