About occupations specific for urban residents, there is only one mention merchant (850) – it is not clear whether this was something separate from the above mentioned shopkeepers (as it seems to me – retailers). It is very remarkable that there are no references to workshops, masters and apprentices. Also, there are no references to people related to money – neither usurers, nor tax or duty collectors.
