Nec finis fuit

[john abshire]

“Nec finis fuit, priusquam custodia totius orae maritimae Gnaeo Pompeio Magno commissa est. Is tam acriter piratas lacessivit, ut omnes sexiginta diebus aut fugerent aut legatos pacis petendae causa ad eum mittere cogerentur.”
and it was not over, before total custody of the coast of the sea was assigned to Big Gnaus Pompeus. He harassed the pirates so vigorously that for sixty days all were forced to either flee the legislators or be sent to him for sake of seeking peace.

Big Gnaus Pompeus.

Lol, that sounds like a rapper's name or something. He's more usually called "the Great".

for sixty days

(With)in sixty days (ablative of time within which). "For sixty days" would usually be accusative. The ablative is sometimes found with the "for" meaning too, especially in somewhat less classical authors, but that meaning wouldn't make so much sense here anyway.

were forced to either flee

Fugerent is not an infinitive, so it does not depend on cogerentur.

the legislators

Legatos means "ambassadors", and belongs after the "or".

be sent

Mittere is active.

 

[Pacifica]

Also, "until" would work better than "before" in the context.

 

[Pacifica]

total custody

Oh, and check what totius agrees with.

Basically, yes.

The end could be phrased a bit better as "for the sake of seeking peace", or even "to ask for peace".
