Insomuch that we exhorted Titus (eiv to parakalesai hmav Titon). Use of eiv to and the infinitive for result with accusative of general reference (hmav). See Robertson, Grammar, p. 1003.
He had made a beginning before (proenhrcato). First aorist active indicative of the double compound verb pro-en-arxomai, still found only here and verse II Corinthians 8:10, to make a start before others.
