So wouldn't that indicate ABRAAM/TON PROPATORA as the subject of the
infinitive?

While I'm at it, can I ask, is it possible for KATA SARKA to be modifying
either PROPATORA or hEURHKENAI?

BTW I also notice there is a textual variant on the location of hEURHKENAI.
Would its location influence how you might tend to translate that verse?
