I double-checked it in my Greek-English hH QEIA
LEITOURGIA TOU hAGIOU IWANNOU TOU CRUSOSTOMOU.
PROSCWMEN comes from the verb PROSECW. The aorist
subjunctive of ECW is SCW, so I guess the double sigma
resulting from PROS + SCWMEN => PROSSCWMEN becomes a
single sigma = PROSCWMEN, i.e., "let us attend"
(hortatory subjunctive).
