1. ἂν ὁμολογῆσαι (so Σ and L): ἄν after a comma is allowed when words belonging to the same clause precede, as here ὑμᾶς πάντας (M.T. 222). 3. οὐδὲν ἐλάττονος, quite as great. 4. πάντων ἀποστερεῖσθαι, to be deprived of anything: cf. πανταχοῦ, anywhere, § 81.6. 7. ὅσῳπερ, (by so much) as: the implied τοσούτῳ is felt as limiting μάλιστα (sc. λυπηρὸν καὶ χαλεπόν).— καὶ before τὸ τυχεῖν expresses the parallelism (so to speak) between losing and gaining the privileges: see ἃ καὶ διεκωλύθη, § 60.4, and note. Such a καί can seldom be expressed in English, except by emphasis.
