Translation:
[I handle] always.[1]
Also [sc. attested is] kexeiroko/tes ["they having handled"]. Candidus the historian[2] says that Leo the Butcher,[3] who was emperor after Marcian,[4] spent countless funds in his campaign against the Vandals. For, as those who had handled these [funds] made known, there were [spent] 47,000 [coming] from the prefects, and 17,000 pounds of gold and 700,000 pounds of silver [coming] from the count of the treasuries, not to mention the [money] spent [coming] from the confiscatory officials and from emperor Anthemius.
"... for the sake ... the city put...into my hands as a gift unsought. Creon [Author, Myth] the trusted, the old-time friend, comes up to me stealthily, desiring to throw me out of this [office]".[5]

Notes:
[1] Hesychius chi280 glosses xeiri/zein with dioikei=n. The present entry's xeiri/zw has no substantive gloss; its 'always', instead, can apparently be paralleled (cf. alpha 2520, beta 169, delta 823); but note that ms A reads ai)tiatikh=| '[used] with an accusative'.
[2] Fr.2 FHG (4.137). For another translation of this text and a brief note accepting Adler's choice of "a)/ter" over "a(/te" found only in ms A, see Blockley (471, 473 n.16). For Candidus see also under chi 20.
[3] For whom cf. alpha 783, epsilon 3100, zeta 83, and esp. lambda 267. For more on Leo consult Hugh Elton's DIR article (with bibliography) at web address 1.
[4] For whom cf. alpha 3803, alpha 4201, iota 368, lambda 165, sigma 1084, sigma 1380, tau 950, upsilon 273. For more on Marcian consult Geoffrey Nathan's DIR article (with bibliography) at web address 2.
[5] A close approximation of Sophocles, Oedipus Tyrannus 383-6 (web address 3); for a better version see delta 1456. Here the discrepancies may stem from the wrong interpretation of the word ou(/neka (here an equivalent of e(/neka, never used by Sophocles) as meaning ou(= e(/neka, "(the thing) for the sake of which". Evidently it has been added to the present entry because of the compound form "ei)sexei/rise ," "put ... into my hands."
