Imperial Logothetes

They who set the word control much.

'Logothetes' were the accountants, administrators, and scribes of the late period, Eastern Roman Empire. From Greek, the word literally translates as 'one who sets the word'. The position was noted as far back as at least the time of Septimius Severus, before the Empire was split in two. By the time of Justinian, however, Imperial bureaucrats were much more powerful, holding jurisdiction over revenue-gathering and even dispatched to oversee that military expeditions remained on or close to their agreed budget. Logothetes were paid an allowance of twelve percent of each piece of revenue they gathered in the Empire's name - something that ensured many of them became extremely wealthy.
