Title Petition from Kallisthenes
Summary Kallisthenes had been arrested for failing to pay the balance of a debt, the creditor probably being Zenon. He had given some of his goods in pledge and he possessed some wine still unsold; all this was likely to be lost if he was kept in prison. He therefore begs Zenon, after summoning him and hearing his case, to set him free so that he may be able to collect the remainder of the money and pay his debt.

HGV 1257 Translation (English) [xml]

1  …tos has arrested me because of the rest of the 60 drachmas which I owe. It happens that we have pledged some of our items, but we still have some wine that is unsold. If, then, it seems best to you—as also previously I have encountered your fairness—even now, summoning me, hear my case, so that it may not happen that I be in the desmôtêtrion and my pledged items be forfeited and the rest of the wine that I have be lost. Rather, as with everything else, so also bringing these matters to conclusion let us do you justice. Farewell. (in a second hand) (Letter?) of Kallisthenes. (J. Bauschatz, Law and Enforcement, p. 239)
