== Civil administration == The first known sakellarios was a certain Paul, a freedman appointed by Emperor Zeno (reigned 474–491). Hence, the sakellarios usually is presumed to have headed a sakellion (or sakella, sakelle), a term that appears in early Byzantine sources with the apparent sense of "treasury", more specifically of "cash", as opposed to the vestiarion that was for goods.
