Hellenotamiae

（Ἑλληνοταμίαι). The name of a board of ten members, elected annually by lot as controllers of the fund contributed by the members of the Athenian confederacy. The treasure was originally deposited at Delos, but after B.C. 461 was transferred to Athens. The yearly contributions of the cities owning the Athenian supremacy amounted at first to 460 talents (some $542,800); during the Peloponnesian War they were increased to nearly 1300 talents ($1,534,000). See Delos, Confederacy of.
