Very worthy deeds [κ α τ ο ρ θ ω μ α τ ω ν]. From katorqow, to set upright. Hence, a success consequent on right judgment; a right action. The best texts, however, read diorqwmatwn, settings right; amendments. Thus the sentence reads, literally, obtaining much peace through thee, and amendments taking place for this nation through thy providence, we accept, etc.

Providence [π ρ ο ν ο ι α ς]. Forethought. Previdentia Augusti (the providence of the emperor) was a common title on the coins of the emperors.
