καὶ γὰρ ἐσθέουσιν ἐς τὴν Ἄλτιν ἀπορρηγνύοντες τὰ δεσμὰ ἢ καὶ ἐκφεύγοντες τοὺς ἄγοντας καὶ ἐπιπηδῶσιν αὐτῷ πολλῷ δή τι ἐμμανέστερον ἢ ἐπὶ τὴν καλλίστην ἵππον ζῶσάν τε καὶ ἠθάδα ἀναβαίνεσθαι·
The sentence coordinates ἐσθέουσιν and ἐπιπηδῶσιν; the latter takes αὐτῷ, with πολλῷ δή τι ἐμμανέστερον ἢ ... as a comparative predicative/degree phrase. The final ἀναβαίνεσθαι is an infinitive dependent on the comparative notion, with ζῶσαν and ἠθάδα agreeing with ἵππον.

ἀπολισθάνουσί τε δὴ αὐτοῖς αἱ ὁπλαὶ καὶ ὅμως οὐκ ἀπαγορεύουσι χρεμετίζοντές τε μᾶλλον καὶ ἐπιπηδῶντες μετὰ βιαιοτέρας τῆς ὁρμῆς, πρὶν ἂν ὑπὸ μαστίγων καὶ ἀνάγκης ἰσχυρᾶς ἀφελκυσθῶσι·
The subject of ἀπολισθάνουσι and ἀπαγορεύουσι is αἱ ὁπλαί, while the participles χρεμετίζοντες and ἐπιπηδῶντες are coordinated manner/temporal modifiers; πρὶν ἄν with the subjunctive introduces the endpoint before which the hooves are dragged away. The spelling ἀπολισθάνουσί is treated as present active indicative, with accentuation likely reflecting enclitic τε.
