Meaning
The Prayer describes the prayer to be learned as προφερεστέρη than all others (Prayer.2). The feminine comparative agrees with εὐχή. Although the comparison ranges over the rest collectively, the printed form remains comparative, not a superlative silently substituted from parallel expressions.
