Exegesis

The genitive phrase diorthōmatōn ginomenōn {διορθωμάτων γινομένων | di-or-thō-má-tōn gi-no-mé-nōn} parallels Pollēs eirēnēs, adding “reforms being done” as a second benefit in genitive relation, while tō ethnē toutō {τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ | tṓi éth-nei toú-tōi} specifies the beneficiary, “for this nation.”
