| Description | P.Oxy. X 1280: Partnership in a Lease. Agreement on oath between two citizens of Oxyrhynchus whereby one of them undertakes to share part of a camel-stable leased by the former, and to make an annual payment towards the rent. The text bears the signature of the notary with initial staurogam according to Diethart and Worp 1986: 85 (rather than a cross in ed. pr.) but they specify that the reading is very unsure – the ink is very faint. Recto: text written across the fibres; verso is blank. |

| Dating criteria | Dated 4th c. in ed. pr. but the date formula and monetary content (1 000 myriads of denarii as rent for a share of camel) led Bagnall and Worp (2004: 26 and 111 n. 14) to push it the last quarter of the 4th c. |
