κομίζετον, “"win,"”=“κομίζεσθον”, with gen. of the person from whom, as O. T. 580 “πάντ᾽ ἐμοῦ κομίζεται”. Cp. 6 “φέροντα” = “φερόμενον”. The same use of the act. “κομίζω” occurs in Homer (as Il. 11.738 “κόμισσα δὲ μώνυχας ἵππους”), Pind. Nem. 2.19 “νίκας ἐκόμιξαν”, etc. οἷς=“τούτοις ἅ”, by reason of (causal dat.) the services which you render. οἴσει, “"will bring,"” i.e. will have added to it. Cp. Ai. 866 “πόνος πόνῳ πόνον φέρει”. As ὁ νῦν ἔπαινος is the praise for “εὐσέβεια”, the thought is properly this:—“"The natural piety, which brings you this praise for serving your father, will bring you further praise for serving your brother."” τῆς ἐμῆς ὑπουργίας, causal gen. with “ἔπαινον” (understood): ἐμῆς=shown to me: cp. 419.
