charistikion
(χαριστίκιον, το). The term charistikion and Charistiki (donation), are common from the 10th c. onwards. Originally the charisticarioi had been the settors. From the late 11th c. this term referred, improperly, to the presentee as well. In this case the administering of the estates of a monastery was assigned to an individual by the emperor, the patriarch or the donator, either as tenancy for life or as a herediatary tansmission. Charisticarioi were in charge of maintaining the monks and the buidings, but merited the surplus of the monastic income.
