about an economic term of ancientGreece other uses Ateleia disambiguation Ateleia Attic Greek privative a telos tax see also philately in ancientGreece was a generally immunity adeia or exemption from some or all the duties which a person has to perform towards the state. Immunities could be granted either as a privilege to the citizens of a state, exempting them from certain duties which would otherwise be incumbent on them, or they are given as honorary distinctions to foreign kings, states, communities or even private individuals. With regard to the latter the ateleia was usually an exemption from custom duties on the importation or exportation of goods, and was given as a reward for certain good services.
