(h(9373) hetoimasai aut(9369)). H(9373) is correct here, not h(9373)te. The
only examples of the final use of h(9373) with the infinitive in
the N.T. are this one and  Heb 7:9  (absolute use). In  Acts
20:24  Westcott and Hort read h(9373) telei(9373)(935c) and put h(9373)
telei(9373)ai in the margin (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 1091).
