Translation

[Meaning he/she/it] provided, managed.¹
"[...] and he sends gifts in a spirit of [the] friendship and alliance, which Stryngaios presided over."²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπρυτάνευσε· παρέσχε, διῳκήσατο. δῶρά τε πέμπει ἐπὶ φιλίᾳ τε καὶ συμμαχίᾳ, ἣν Στρυγγαῖος ἐπρυτάνευσεν.

Notes (1)

[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica. The headword is third person singular, aorist indicative active, of prutaneu/w (cf. pi 2994). It might be extracted from the quotation given, though earlier lexica do not have it, and there is another good candidate in Isocrates 4.121.
2Though this quotation is otherwise unattested, the name Stryngaios (again sigma 1230) creates a link with Ctesias FGrH 688 F7 and especially Nicolaus of Damascus FGrH 90 F5, on the Mede Stryngaios who was the ill-fated admirer of Zarinaia, widow of the king of the Sakai. The Nicolaus fragment ends abruptly with 'The eunuch [...]', and, as Jacoby notes, the Suda quotation would make a plausible fit there.
