Skeuophylax
''Skeuophylax'' ((ギリシア語:σκευοφύλαξ)), feminine form ''skeuophylakissa'' (σκευοφυλάκισσα), meaning "keeper of the vessels", is an ecclesiastical office in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Usually held by a priest, the office of the ''skeuophylax'' is entrusted with looking after the sacred vessels and furnishings of a church or monastery. In Byzantine times, the ''skeuophylax'' played an important role in the liturgy, and, alongside the ''oikonomos'' or steward, administered the property of the respective church or monastery.
The ''skeuophylax'' of the Great Church (the Hagia Sophia, the cathedral church of the Patriarchate of Constantinople) was distinguished by the epithet ''megas'' ("great"), and was appointed by the Byzantine emperors until the reign of Isaac I Komnenos (r. 1057–59), when the prerogative passed to the patriarchs. Until the late 11th century, the ''megas skeuophylax'' (μέγας σκευοφύλαξ) ranked second in the administrative hierarchy, after the ''megas oikonomos'' of the Patriarchate, dropping to third place next to the ''megas sakellarios'' after that. He headed a department (''sekreton'') known as the ''mega skeuophylakeion'' (μέγα σκευοφυλακείον), with a number of subordintae secretaries (''chartoularioi''). This ''sekreton'' probably had its origins in the corps of 12 ''skeuophylakes'' (four priests, six deacons and two lectors) recorded as forming part of the staff of the Great Church in 612.
