Translation

[Meaning] tax-men, [the ones] exacting and collecting the tithe. So Antiphon [sc. uses the word].¹
Also [sc. attested is] dekatelogoi, [meaning] the same [men].²
They say dekatelogos in the feminine also.³

Greek original · Adler’s text

Δεκατευτάς· τοὺς τελώνας τοὺς τὴν δεκάτην ἐκλέγοντας καὶ συλλέγοντας. οὕτως Ἀντιφῶν. καὶ Δεκατηλόγοι, οἱ αὐτοί. εἴρηται δὲ καὶ θηλυκῶς τὴν Δεκατηλόγον.
