Translation

[Meaning] they made public property.¹ "And envy prevailed, and they confiscated his property. But he put 10 talents of gold aside for himself.".²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐδήμευσαν· δημόσιον ἐποίησαν. καὶ ἐκράτησεν ὁ φθόνος, καὶ τὴν οὐσίαν ἐδήμευσαν αὐτῷ. ὁ δὲ ὑπεξαιρεῖται χρυσίου ιʹ τάλαντα.

Notes (1)

[1] For the glossing cf. epsilon 226. The headword is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
2Though the quotation -- shorter in ps.-Zonaras -- is unidentifiable (Adler suggested Aelian), Favuzzi (2018) 279-282 builds a strong case for concluding that the individual concerned is Themistokles (theta 124, theta 125).
