    Comments: The construction in {S:05400401500004}, in which ταῦτα μελέτα and ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι appear to be essentially synonymous reinforcements one of the other, would appear to fully justify combining these expressions as essentially equivalent in meaning, but for another interpretation of μελετάω in {S:05400401500004}, see {D:30.20}.
