I don't think the connotations of "functionary" are appropriate for 官吏 ~
"A person employed as an official in a bureaucracy (usually corporate or governmental) who holds limited authority and primarily serves to carry out a simple function for which discretion is not required."

"officeholder" is one word, not two, but 官吏 is much more commonly rendered in English as "official"
Diff:
- 官吏 官吏 [guan1 li4] /a functionary/an office holder/
+ 官吏 官吏 [guan1 li4] /bureaucrat/official/
