Ταμιεῖον, οἶκος ἐν ᾧ τὰ ἀναγκαῖα ἀπετίθεσαν, ὡς Ἀριστοφάνης καὶ ἰπνὸς καὶ ἄλλοι. Φρύνιχος δὲ ἐν σοφιστικῇ παρασκευῇ καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν κακῶν φησι τὸ ταμιεῖον. εἴρηται δὲ παρὰ τὸν ταμίαν. ὁ δὲ τοῦ ταμιείου οἰκήτωρ ταμιεύς.

Tamieion: a room in which they used to store necessities, as per Aristophanes, Ipnos, and others. Phrynichos in his Sophistic Preparation says that 'tamieion' is also used of evils. The word is from 'tamias'. The occupant of a 'tamieion' is a 'tamieus'.
