Open translation for this passage
Μέτελλος δὲ οὔτε ἱερὰ ἐμπιπράναι θεῶν οὔτε οἰκοδομήματα καθαιρεῖν εἴα, Θηβαίων τε τῶν ἄλλων μήτε ἀποκτεῖναι μηδένα μήτε αἱρεῖν φεύγοντα ἀπηγόρευε·
The sentence has a loose coordination of two finite verbs (εἴα, ἀπηγόρευε) with multiple infinitival complements; the second clause is syntactically compressed around the coordinated μήτε phrases.

Πυθέαν δὲ ἢν ἕλωσιν, ἀνάγειν ἐκέλευσεν ὡς αὐτόν·
The construction is a verb of commanding with a conditional protasis (ἢν ἕλωσιν) and an infinitival complement; ὡς αὐτόν is somewhat ambiguous, but most naturally modifies the infinitival clause.
