Ὁ δὲ, ὑπὸ τοῦ ψύχους καταπονούμενος ἔτι μᾶλλον, καὶ περιττοτέραν ἐσθῆτα προσελάμβανεν, ἕως ἀποκαμὼν ὁ Βορέας τῷ Ἡλίῳ μετὰ τοῦτο παρέδωκε.
He, more and more exhausted by the cold, even more, took on an extra cloak, until, having grown tired, Boreas handed him over to Helios afterwards.

τὰ γὰρ πρὸ αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἔτι παλαίτερα σαφῶς μὲν εὑρεῖν διὰ χρόνου πλῆθος ἀδύνατα ἦν…
For it was impossible to find out clearly the events before them and even older ones due to the great amount of time; but from the evidence which it is possible for me to trust after observing it at length, I consider that neither great things happened regarding the wars nor in other matters.
ἔτι: tells how or when about παλαίτερα.
…ἔς σ’ ἴδω βρόχε’, ὤς με φώναισ’ οὐδ’ ἒν ἔτ’ εἴκει, ἀλλ’ ἄκαν μὲν γλῶσσα †ἔαγε†, λέπτον δ’ αὔτικα…
For whenever I look at you even briefly, I can no longer speak at all; my tongue is broken, a subtle fire at once runs beneath my skin, my eyes see nothing, my ears hum, cold sweat pours down me, trembling seizes me all over, I am paler than grass, and I seem to myself little short of dying.
ἔτ’: tells how or when about εἴκει.
