2. πάντ̓...πράττειν, that I did everything that was best. It is difficult to choose even the most probable reading here. Both πάντας (Σ) and πάντας τοὺς χρόνους (Vulg.) are objectionable, and we seem compelled to decide between the conjectures πάντ̓ and πάντως. πράττειν is imperfect (for ἔπραττον). On the contrary, νικᾶν, καταπραχθῆναι, and γενέσθαι are distinguished only like ordinary present and aorist infinitives (M.T. 87, 96).

4. τὰ γραφέντα= ἔγραψα: see note on § 56.4.

5. καὶ ἐμοὶ καὶ πᾶσιν repeats the idea of τῇ πόλει.

6. προσόδους, processions: cf. § 216.10.
