καὶ πάντων, κ.τ.λ. ‘And, just for that reason, nothing is more surprising than that you elect’, etc. , acc. referring to the whole preceding statement, lit. ‘and as to these things’ (like quod before si and nisi): cp. Thuc. II. 40 § 3, διαφερόντως γὰρ δὴ καὶ τόδε ἔχομεν ὥστε τολμᾶν τε οἱ αὐτοὶ μάλιστα, καὶ περὶ ὧν ἐπιχειρήσομεν, ἐκλογίζεσθαι: [acc., as to which thing, ‘whereas’] τοῖς ἄλλοις ἀμαθία μὲν θράσος λογισμὸς δὲ ὄκνον φέρει.

προχειρίζεσθε ‘elect’, lit. ‘make ready for yourselves’: cp. [Dem.] In Aristog. I. § 13, ὁρῶν ὑμᾶς κατατάττοντάς με (designating) καὶ προχειριζομένους ἐπὶ τὴν τούτου κατηγορίαν.
