Not in the standard references.
Taboularios was an official whose duty was to register transactions and certify documents. He bore various names, such as notarius, tabellion, symbolographos or nomikos. The meaning of this term could be financial official, scribe, or notary. Most probably the last meaning came to apply after Justinian's legislation. See Hélène Saradi, Le notariat byzantin du IXe au XVe siècles (Athens, 1992), 41-43.
