if (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰ Δέ τὶ περί ἑτέρων ἐπιζητεῖτε ἐν τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐπιλυθήσεται)

The word seek does not mean that Demetrius and his colleagues would be searching for something. The city clerk is speaking. Alternate translation: [But if you have other matters to discuss]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the regular assembly will settle it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

ἐν τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐπιλυθήσεται

in the lawful assembly ˱it˲_˓will_be_being˒_settled

The city clerk may be using a future statement to give an command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural form for giving a command. Alternate translation: [you must settle it in the regular assembly]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ

the lawful assembly

This regular assembly refers to a public gathering of citizens over which the county clerk presided. In your translation, you could use a term for a comparable deliberative body in your culture. Alternate translation: [the town meeting]
