χ20Χαλεπωτάτους λόγους
most difficult words, very difficult words
[Meaning ones] able to deceive. Candidus [writes]: "having picked out the more difficult men and assigned public [monies?] to them he persuaded them as a result of this even to yield to the governors of the provinces".
Χαλεπωτάτους λόγους· κλέψαι δυναμένους. Κάνδιδος· ἐκλεξάμενος τοὺς χαλεπωτέρους καὶ σφίσι τὰ δημόσια νείμας ἔπεισεν ἐξ ἐκείνου καὶ τοῖς τῶν ἐπαρχιῶν ἄρχουσιν ὑπείκειν.
