Would it be possible to interpret the hO\ as a backward rather
than a forward reference? I'm weak on my genders, but could
it refer back to the "mystery", or even the act of having
previously written? Thus,
"the secret ... just as I wrote to you briefly before, in view of which
(PROS hO\) you are able ...."
