Ταμίαι

Vetting Status: high
Translation: They are officials at
Athens appointed by lot from the five-hundred-bushel men;[1] they guard both the sacred and the public monies in the temple of
Athena on [the] acropolis, as well as the statue of
Athena itself. There are also other official treasurers, elected ones, who look after the sacred and public triremes: one for the Paralos and one for that of Ammon.[2]
Ταμίαι: ἄρχοντές εἰσιν Ἀθήνησι κληρωτοὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πεντακοσιομεδίμνων, οἳ τὰ ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς ἐν ἀκροπόλει χρήματα ἱερά τε καὶ δημόσια φυλάττουσιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτὸ τὸ ἄγαλμα τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς. εἰσὶ δὲ καὶ ἄλλοι ταμίαι ἄρχοντες χειροτονητοὶ ἐπὶ τὰς ἱερὰς καὶ δημοσίας τριήρεις, ὁ μὲν ἐπὶ τὴν Πάραλον, ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν τοῦ Ἄμμωνος.
