Translation

["He having made a decision"] meaning he having made a choice.
"But he having made a decision, so that he would be able to fulfil the emperor's intention even more by far."¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Βουλεύσας ἀντὶ τοῦ βουληθείς. βουλεύσας δὲ, ὅπως τὴν βασιλέως διάνοιαν πολλῷ ἔτι μᾶλλον ἐξελεῖν δύνηται.

Notes (1)

The headword participle is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
1Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as Procopius, Secret History 26.40 (web address 1). See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.XCII. Procopius describes the scheme by which Hephaistos, prefect in Alexandria in 545/546 CE and later governor, terminated--with the approval of Justinian (cf. iota 446)-- the long tradition of free grain distribution to the city's poor; cf. Kaldellis (119). On Hephaistos, see PLRE IIIa s.v. Hephaestus.
