A letter from Ploutammon, a tax collector (exactor), to Aminnaios, a military commander (praepositus), about horses that were handed over instead of payment in gold solidi. Ploutammon complains of daily distress over the matter. It belongs to the mid-4th-century archive of Abinnaeus, probably from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.
Aminnaios is a spelling of Abinnaeus, the cavalry commander at Dionysias. Holokottinoi are gold solidi, and the exactor was the official responsible for collecting taxes.
