οἱ δὲ καὶ Δαίδαλον ἀποδρᾶναι τηνικαῦτα †καὶ οἴκου διὰ τὴν ἐπιστρατείαν τὴν Κρητῶν καὶ ἀποικίας ἐς τὴν Σαρδὼ μετασχεῖν τῷ Ἀρισταίῳ νομίζουσιν·
The sentence has two coordinated infinitival complements of νομίζουσιν; the dagger and the intervening οἴκου phrase make the attachment around tokens 7–12 uncertain.

ἔχοι δʼ ἂν λόγον οὐδένα Αὐτονόῃ τῇ Κάδμου συνοικήσαντι τῷ Ἀρισταίῳ Δαίδαλον ἢ ἀποικίας ἢ ἄλλου τινὸς μετεσχηκέναι, ὃς ἡλικίαν κατὰ Οἰδίποδα ἦν βασιλεύοντα ἐν Θήβαις.
Potentially compressed construction: ἔχοι ... λόγον ... Δαίδαλον ... μετεσχηκέναι, with Δαίδαλον as accusative subject of the infinitive; συνοικήσαντι is a dative participle agreeing with Ἀρισταίῳ. The relative ὃς refers to Daedalus and κατὰ Οἰδίποδα is temporal/comparative context.
