Flavius Abinnaeus (Шаблон:Circa – after 351) was a Roman officer in Egypt from 303 to 351.
Abinnaeus was probably a Christian and a Syrian.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn His wife was Aurelia Nonna of Alexandria.Шаблон:Sfn He claims that he served for 33 years as a ducenarius in the vexillatio Parthosagittariorum at Diospolis (Thebes) until he was sent by the comes Senecio to escort the ambassadors of the Blemmyes to Constantinople.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He was in the city in July 336 for the tricennalia (thirtieth anniversary) of the Emperor Constantine I, when the emperor's son Constantius II was also present.[1] In Constantinople, he was promoted to the rank of protector.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He escorted the Blemmyan ambassadors to their homeland in the Eastern Desert, where he remained for three years.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
In 339 or 340, Abinnaeus brought some recruits from the Thebaid to the court of Constantius II at Hierapolis, perhaps for the planned Persian campaign mentioned in the Itinerarium Alexandri.Шаблон:Sfn At Hierapolis, he was appointed by imperial letter to be praefectus of the ala Quinta Praelectorum stationed in Dionysias.Шаблон:Sfn He had to write to the emperor to have his appointment confirmed, since others had apparently bought the office by suffragium. He can be confirmed in office by 29 March 342.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He may have been raised to the honorary rank of tribune as recognition of his time as protector.Шаблон:Sfn The comes Valacius dismissed him as praefectus in 344, perhaps for religious reasons, but he appealed to the emperor in 345.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He may have travelled to the court of Constantius II in Antioch to obtain his reinstatement.Шаблон:Sfn He was back in office by 1 May 346.Шаблон:Sfn He still held the office as late as 11 February 351, on which day he officially retired to Philadelphia.Шаблон:Sfn
Abinnaeus's life is known in detail because an archive of 82 of his documents on papyrus was discovered in Philadelphia (Fayyum) and purchased by the British Museum and the University of Geneva in 1893. Two of the documents are in Latin and the rest in Greek. They date to the period 340/341–351.Шаблон:Sfn They were edited and published with an English translation in 1962.Шаблон:Sfn They are cited with the prefix P.Abinn.Шаблон:Sfn The 1962 edition includes one document which is not part of the archive and is missing one that is.Шаблон:Sfn The accounts, contracts, letters, petitions and receipts in the archive cover both public and private matters. They show that the military authorities were often called upon in juridical matters.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
