Narrative (7) Description (7) Basileios 2 felt affection and strong love for her, Theodora 1 and Zoe 1 , but took no more noble care for them; while guarding the power for his brother (Konstantinos 8 ) he put their care in his hands [unnamed] ἠγάπα ... καὶ δεινῶς ἔστεργεν, οὐδὲν δέ τι γενναιότερον περὶ τούτων ἐφρόντισεν ... ἐπ’ ἐκείνῳ τὴν περὶ τούτων φροντίδα ἔθετο.
