A fragmentary petition or appeal from Hatres and others of the village of Euhemeris to Flavius Abinnaeus, commander of the military camp at Dionysias, addressing him as patron and helper. They seem to complain about pressure from a tax collector (exactor) and ask him to intervene so that they are not forced to flee their village.
Part of the Abinnaeus archive, mid-4th century AD; the text is also published as P.Gen. 1 59. The exactor was the official responsible for collecting taxes.
