It is not correct that "economists" in ancient Greeks means  
"OIKO" + "NOMOS": each word has many meaning. The ancient  
Greeks had many words about the meaning of "economist"  
depending of the specialization of their work and/or the place of  
their job.   
 
Economist was a general idea, but also the word "tamias" used  
and many many other... such as "marpo", "marigo", "fiskos",  
"makririon", "maro", "ziko", "mahai" etc. Also the idea of  
economists can be found in Linear B...   
 
Furthermore the ancient economists invent the coins and the first  
coin on earth was the golden TALANDUM and was refered by  
nonnos in Dionysiaca in two points (Thagetian Economists, page  
29-30).   
 
Two ingots treasure from the banks of Pactolos (Nonnos,  
Dionysiaca XXXVII 129, page 45, Loeb Classical Library).   
 
and 
 
A sicilian groom displayed two ingots of gold (Nonnos, Dionysiaca  
XXXVII 482-485, page 71, Loeb Classical Library).
