On the translation of telones as “toll collector” rather than “tax collector,” see John Donahue, “Tax Collectors and Sinners: An Attempt at Identification,” Catholic Biblical Quarterly 33 (1971), p. 54. It would be most unusual if Philip did not have the same sort of arrangement in Bethsaida to collect indirect taxes.
