There were, according to Aristotle, ten main officials with responsibility for the proper working of the port. This meant, in particular, commercial operations in the Emporium, the port's trading market.
How many of them there were we do not know. But they were officials with responsibility for collecting tolls on incoming and outgoing produce. All goods, including grain, were subject to a tax at the rate of two per cent of a cargo's value. This duty was paid in money, not in kind.
