In documents of Catholic or Latin influence from medieval Transylvania, it could designate a secretary, a keeper of archives, or an official responsible for guarding the administrative valuables chest.
• Ardar — A rare historical term previously used in certain Balkan or frontier administrative regions to designate a tax collector, a secondary customs official, or a treasurer in charge of gathering special duties associated with the transit of goods. Its structural meaning stems from lexical adaptations of ancient office systems from neighboring empires.
