Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἐξελθόντι & αὐτῷ
/having/_come_out & ˱to˲_him
Here Luke is writing in a compact way. He means that Jesus came out of the boat. Alternate translation: “when Jesus got out of the boat”
Note 2 topic: writing-participants
ἀνήρ τις ἐκ τῆς πόλεως
/a/_man certain out_of the city
This phrase introduces a new character in a story. If your language has an expression of its own that serves this purpose, you could use it here. Alternate translation: “a man who was from the city of Gerasa”
ἔχων δαιμόνια
having demons
Alternate translation: “who was controlled by demons” or “whom demons controlled”
Note 3 topic: writing-background
καὶ χρόνῳ ἱκανῷ
and ˱for˲_time much
Luke uses this phrase to introduce background information about the man who had demons. Alternate translation: “Now for a long time”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
τοῖς μνήμασιν
the tombs
The term the tombs refers to places in which people laid to rest the bodies of loved ones who have died. In this context it may possibly mean caves cut into the rock or small buildings that the man could use for shelter.
8:27 living in the tombs outside the town: Touching a tomb or a dead body rendered a Jew unclean, or ceremonially defiled. Jesus willingly entered this unclean place to rescue a person enslaved by Satan.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
