Exegesis
The coordinated infinitive clause mēden propetes prassein {μηδὲν προπετὲς πράσσειν | Mēdén Propetés Prássein} adds a negative counterpart, “to do nothing rash,” where mēden modifies the adjective propetes, together functioning as the object of prassein. The structure thus moves from an established, uncontested reality, through an impersonal necessity, to two coordinated infinitival directives that address both inner disposition (being calmed) and outward behavior (avoiding rash action). The English renderings preserve this logical progression with “since … it is necessary … to be … and to do nothing,” mirroring the Greek clause relationships.
