Question on Malalas

Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me to parse "τες" in the sentence below (taken from John's Malalas' Chronographia):

ἦλθον γὰ? ἀπὸ τῆς Πε?σίδος μάγοι,
γνόντες, ὡς μυστικοί, διὰ τοῦ φανέντος ἀστέ?ος τοῦ μηνύσαντος εἰς τὴν ἀνατολὴν τὴν
τοῦ σωτῆ?ος Χ?ιστοῦ ?νανθ?ώπησιν, δῶ?α φέ?ον 230 τες α?τῷ, ὡς βασιλεῖ μεγάλῳ καὶ
νικητῇ.

The text can be found in the Byzantine treasure trove online which IreneY pointed out:

I think 230 is kind of page/column number and the word is not τες, but φέ?οντες. So it should be φέ?ον[203]τες. Hope this helps.

lol, don't I feel like an idiot now

. My only defense is that I read it just before going to sleep!

Thanks.

I happen to think that this is no reason to feel like an idiot on account of this.
