Open translation for this passage
ταύταις δὲ οὐκ ἐθέλειν νήσοις προσίσχειν τοὺς ναύτας οἷα πρότερόν τε προσσχόντας καὶ τῶν ἐνοικούντων οὐκ ἀπείρως ἔχοντας, βιασθῆναι δʼ οὖν καὶ τότε.
The syntax is largely indirect discourse with δύο infinitives (ἐθέλειν, βιασθῆναι) coordinated; the participial cluster after ναύτας is semantically dense and textually somewhat difficult.
