[Constantinus Philo]

ἓν δὲ δῶρον ἄπειμι ἔχων παρὰ σοῦ ἀνθ᾽ οὗ οὐδ᾽ ἂν τὰ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι, εἰ ἐκεῖ πλεῖστά ἐστιν,
I understand this εἰ ἐκεῖ πλεῖστά ἐστιν literally, 'if there is too much there' the translation, however, renders it as ' (and that is enormous)' on the ground, probably, that ei tis would have an analogous meaning.

[phalakros]

πλεῖστος just means “most” (superlative) or “very much” (intensive), not “too much.”

There are a number of textual problems with this sentence (looking at the app crit in Marchant). Miller’s text must be without εἰ, as a parenthetical clause: “(the most [wealth] is there”). The whole clause is perhaps a secondary gloss that should be omitted.

I don’t follow what you mean by “ei tis would have an analogous meaning.”

[Constantinus Philo]

I mean such phrases ei tis kai allos, especially he, etc.

[phalakros]

Ok, I understand what you meant now. No, I think Miller is just translating a text without εἰ.
