Quantum redactiones paginae "Disputatio:Gordius (auriga)" differant

Could someone help me with the grammar here? What I get out of the Latin is: 'The author Cassius Dio Cocceianus is', and then (apparently in indirect discourse) 'Gordius to have been the emperor's ''paidika'' (to wit, "catamite")'—but these pieces, each grammatical (or nearly so) in its own right, don't combine to make a grammatical whole. What's the story? Did someone write ''est'' for a verb like ''ait'' or ''dicit'' or ''scribit''? or what? ¶ Note that, if the second piece is in indirect discourse, ''paidika'' and ''catamitus'' must be in the accusative.
