Ploutinos 8 was the father of Theodoros 345 and Euprepios 1; he was an imperial baker and was in charge of the public bakers responsible for supplying the annonae to the Scholai (Πλουτίνου τοῦ μακαριωτάτου βασιλικοῦ μάγκιπος ἤτοι ἐπάνω ὅλων τῶν τοῦ δημοσίου μαγκίπων τῶν τὰς ἀνώνας πασῶν τῶν σχολῶν ἀπολυόντων, ὃ ἐπιλέγεται Τετράνσιτον); the family was rich: Theod. Spoud., Hypomnesticum (Gk), 3, p. 70, Hypomnesticum (Lat.), III, 196 (his name and title in the Latin translation reads: "Plutimi (sic) beatissimi imperatoris pistoris, id est, qui super omnes pistores publicos est, eorum videlicet qui annonas scholarum omnium solvunt, quos appellatur Tetransiton").
