Translation

Meaning adducing.¹ "The associates of Gezerich send to Basiliscus two thousand pounds of gold and very beautiful treasures, [re]lying on the excuse of the Arians."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπικείμενα· ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐπιφέροντα. δισχιλίας λίτρας χρυσίου στέλλουσι καὶ κειμήλια κάλλιστα οἱ περὶ Γεζέριχον τῷ Βασιλίσκῳ, πρόφασιν τὴν τῶν Ἀρειανῶν ἐπικείμενα.

Notes (1)

[1] The headword is present participle of the verb e)pi/keimai (cf. epsilon 2370, epsilon 2371), neuter plural nominative/accusative; presumably extracted from the quotation given.
2Bernhardy attributed this quotation -- where e)pikei/mena agrees grammatically with 'treasures' -- to Malchus; now Malchus fr.26 Cresci. For Gezerich and the Arians see the quotation (first attributed by Toup to Priscus: now his fr.68 Bornmann) under pi 307. For the emperor Basiliscus see beta 164.
