[Advance-payment] and supplementary payment. When the taxes were being farmed out [sc. in classical Athens], two instructions were given to the purchasers as to how they had to bring in the money. So the part of the sums that they brought in before beginning their task, this is called 'advance-payment', whereas the [part] provided at the second appointed time [is] 'supplementary payment'.

Notes:
Same entry in Photius (pi1247 Theodoridis); similar ones in other lexica.
The first of these terms -- when used in this sense -- is attested only in the lexica, but for the second see Demosthenes 24.97-98 (as proskata/blhma).
