personnel are known by name, even though very little can be said about their
actual function or social status. The present paper inves­ti­gates on the
so-called contrascriptores. In research the abbreviation is commonly read as contra­scrip­tor,
however it could also be read as contrascriba. Writing was part of the
employees’ duties, never­theless the exact nature of their assignment still
remains uncertain. Considering the overall system of customs duties, each protractor
received a certified document in the tollhouse, therefore there must have been
a scribe present in every custom post. The denomination contrascriptor (scrip­tores
or scribae are not attested in tollhouse-inscriptions) strongly suggests that
writing was essential to their remits. Due to an above-average qualification
the contrascriptor belonged to an occupa­tio­nal group of high esteem and
salary. Thus his social standing was remarkably high and enabled him to set up
expensive inscriptions. </span> </div>}, publisher={Kabalcı Yayıncılık}
