Abstract
The ἐπίτροπος χαρτηρᾶς and the procurator rationis chartariae were freedmen procurators of the familia Caesaris, attested for the 2nd century AD. The inauguration of these offices was probably in the 1st century after the reign of Tiberius to secure the supply of writing materials to Rome. Probably as a result of the Severian administrative reform to avoid freedmen as procurators or in context with the vectigal chartae, a tribute in kind since Aurelian, the offices vanished.
