Shlama,
?????? (`eth) is as an object marker, and is thus not translated.
Onkelos is not alone to mimic the Hebrew `eth in Genesis 1:1 (and throughout his Targum). The Peshitta ANK also mimics the Hebrew object marker in this verse, which is pretty peculiar, as in Syriac you usually use -?? as an object marker, if any at all.
