A further note on MPol 10:2
I wrote earlier;
>SU MEN KAN LOGOU HXIWSA should be rendered literally "I should have (KAN,
>contrary to fact) considered you worthy of a word." LOGOS here probably
>refers to a "discussion."<

I would add that KAN is crasis for KAI AN. AN with an aorist indicative
this indicates a contrary to fact statement. The fact is that he did not
formerly consider him worthy.
