This paper presents a new inscription mentioning a dekaprotos from Antikyra in Phokis, dated around the middle of the 3rd century AD. The offi ce of dekaprotos is examined in its historical perspective with a review of all available sources. The paper tries to identify more closely the function of the offi cials denoted as dekaprotoi in the Roman East, as well as their relationship to the decemprimi and decuriones in the Roman West. It readjusts the dates of the introduction and abolition of the institution, discusses the terms of the offi ce and how often a man could hold it, and makes several additions to what is already known about its geographical spread.
