I. Priene 111 honours its subject, Krates, for his achievements over a period of four years as superintendent of Priene’s sacred property, rather than for a diverse career that spanned decades. Priene’s dispute with the publicani was about who owned the local salt-pans (Athena or the Roman Republic, as ager publicus), rather than about immunity to taxation. The known quarrels between the publicani and the cities of Ilium, Ephesus, Pergamum and Oropus were also questions of ownership, rather than tax status.
