Chrysaphius (Greek: Χρυσάφιος) was a eunuch in the Eastern Roman court who became the chief minister of Theodosius II (r. 402–450). Having a great influence on the rule of the empire during his ascendancy, he pursued a policy of appeasement towards the Huns, which cost the empire far more gold than any military campaign, while amassing a vast fortune in bribes himself. He is depicted as a sinister figure in all the ancient accounts.

  • Chrysaphios est un eunuque qui exerça une très grande influence sur le gouvernement de l'Empire romain d'Orient pendant les dernières années du règne de l'empereur Théodose II (443-450). Il était également nommé Ztommas selon Jean Malalas, Tzoumas selon Théophane. Il était cubiculaire selon Malalas, garde selon Évagre le Scholastique, spathaire selon le Chronicon Paschale, parakimomène selon les Patria de Constantinople. Malalas prétend que l'empereur l'aimait d'amour à cause de sa belle apparence. D'après Théophane, il dominait le palais et l'empereur Théodose. Malalas dit qu'il patronnait la faction des Verts. (fr)
  • Chrysaphius (Oudgrieks: Χρυσάφιος) was een eunuch aan het Oost-Romeinse hof, die van circa 408 tot 450 eerste minister van Theodosius II was. Op het toppunt van zijn macht was hij de feitelijke heerser van het keizerrijk. Hij streefde naar een beleid van appeasement ten opzichte van de Hunnen. De kosten in goud daarvan waren echter veel hoger dan die van een mogelijke militaire campagne. Door corruptie vergaarde hij een enorm fortuin. (nl)
