Kaznac
Kaznac was a court title of the state employee in medieval Bosnia and Serbia who was in charge for the treasury in the territory under his jurisdiction — kaznačina. The name of the title is derived from Serbo-Croatian word kazna. The kaznac was a financial-taxation service, translated into Latin camerarius.
In the Dečani chrysobulls, King Stefan Dečanski mentioned that the court dignitaries present at the Dečani assembly were the kaznac, tepčija, vojvoda, sluga and stavilac.
The title of veliki kaznac was later transformed into protovestijar.
