mvp-comment-973-3 Wecklein reads ξυνήδομαί σου (for σοι ): rightly, I think. With σοι, ταῖς παρελθούσαις ὁδοῖς is usu. taken as causal,

" on account of thy past journeys"
: but such a dat., in addition to the dat. of the person , is most awkward. We should expect either the dat. with
ἐπί
, or else a gen., as Dem. or. 15 § 15
Ῥοδίοις γε...συγχαίρω τῶν γεγενημένων
. And ξυνήδομαι was constantly used with a dat. of the thing in which one takes joy, or of which one approves: Isocr. or. 5 § 8
συνησθεὶς...τοῖς περὶ τῆς εἰρήνης
: or. 8 § 87
συνησθησόμενοι ταῖς ἡμετέραις συμφοραῖς
(exult in): Eur. Med. 136
οὐδὲ συνήδομαι ...ἄλγεσι δώματος
: Hipp. 1286
τί...τοῖσδε συνήδει;
(these deeds ): Rhes. 958
οὐ μὴν θανόντι γ’ οὐδαμῶς συνήδομαι
(his death): Arist. Rhet. 2.4 . 3
τὸν συνηδόμενον τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς
(rejoicing in one's prosperity).
