…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)
