ἤλπετο . . . πράξεσθαι: As ἔλπομαι contains an element of wish it may take the aor. πράξασθαι (with the MSS.) instead of the future, but P. uses the first aor. only here, and the neg. οὐ favors πράξεσθαι (P. 1.43), unless we write κεῖνόν κε. Compare P. 3.43. The subject of πράξ. is Ἰάσονα. Easier πράξ. as fut. pass. (note on v. 15) with οἱ = Ἰάσονι. Perh. πεπράξεσθαι.
