Description

P.Oxy. X 1328 descr.: Receipt

Complete receipt for a tax payment of an unspecified amount made by a clerk (systates), Panos, to his assistant, Paulos, for the 11th indiction. At the top of the document, the Christian cryptogram ΧΜΓ. Signed by the systates Herakleios.

Under the text is a big Χ, either for χ(αῖρε) or Χ(ριστός)? See Van Minnen 1991: 381 and n. 12 (= BL IX 184).

Same hand as in P.Leid.Inst. 62, also signed by the systates Herakleios.

Dating criteria

Dated in descr. to late 4th or 5th c. A date in the 4th c. has been later suggested by the ed. of P.Leid.Inst. 62 written by the same scribe (= BL IX 184); but both could also be dated in early 5th c. now [VS]: about the systatai appearing in documents dated between late 3rd to late 4th or early 5th c. see Lewis 1992: 127 and now P.Oxy. LXXII 4904 (417).
