These are the administrators who were in the Temple: Yochanan ben Pinchas over the tokens; Achiyah over the nesachim; Matisyah ben Shmuel over the lots; Pesachyah over the bird-offerings. [This] Pesachyah is Mordechai [of Megillas Esther;] so why is he called Pesachyah? Because he was able to open up [mysterious] matters and investigate them, and he knew sev-enty languages; Ben Achiyah over [the treatment of] stomach disorders; Nechunya, the digger of pits; Gevini, the crier; Ben Gever over the locking of the gates; Ben Bevai over the whip; Ben Arzah over the cymbal; Hugras, a Levi, over the singing; the Garmu family over the preparation of the Panim Bread; the Avtinas family over the preparation of the incense; Elazar over the curtains; and Pinchas over the vestments.

There may not be less than three treasurers [in the Temple] nor [less than] seven superiors; nor may financial authority be set up over the community with less than two [officers], except for Achiyah who was in charge of [the treatment of] stomach disorders and Elazar who was in charge of the curtains, because most of the community accepted them over itself.
