Posthumous; for having taken the beginning, he transferred those who were established from the beginning and those who had been received from fathers and grandfathers, he established the ranks, and he made those who were unfit and desperate, having sold everything that was kept safe for a long time; and to these, having arranged the useful and beneficial ones of the administrators to be transferred, for the sake of plunder.

Postomos: For having taken power, he displaced those who had been established from the beginning and those who had inherited their positions from their fathers and grandfathers. He appointed unsuitable and disreputable men, having sold everything that had been preserved throughout time. Moreover, having arranged for the useful and most beneficial of the administrators to be transferred, he did so for the sake of plunder.
