Enteuxis via HGV-meta

Petition to the king about undelivered wine sold by Kleitos. A petition (enteuxis) to the king from a wine buyer complaining that the seller Kleitos, after taking a deposit of 200 bronze drachmas paid to his wife Glauke and accepting a guarantor for the balance, refuses to deliver the wine. The petitioner asks that the strategos Peitholaos investigate and compel delivery or an oath in the Herakleion; the verso bears notes on the oath procedure dated Year 2, Tybi 17, from the Herakleopolite nome in 220 BC. machine translation

[recto] [… lines lost …] […] the aforementioned quantity. And if anything is lacking, he will make it up at the same price. When we had agreed on these terms and I was giving a deposit of 200 bronze drachmas, he instructed me to pay it over to Glauke his wife, which I immediately did. For the rest of the price I appointed as guarantor a certain Amenneus, one of the merchants there, whom he himself also chose. He undertook to pay him the remainder by the 30th of Mesore, when I would collect the wine. And taking out at once 2 jars of this wine, I sealed both the storeroom and the key. But when the time came near and we were paying him the remainder, so that we might collect the cargo and dispose of it, he paid no attention, saying at one time that I must first make the settlement (?), at another that I had bought it on the basis of a written assessment (?), doing this in order to ruin me and because he does not wish to deliver the wine. I beg you therefore, O king, if it please you, to order Peitholaos the strategos to summon Kleitos and examine the matter, and if I appear to have bought on these terms, to compel him to deliver the wine to me. But if he objects that I bought on the basis of a written assessment (?), to give me the guarantees in the Herakleion and deliver the wine, so that having taken refuge with you, O king, the helper and benefactor of all, I may obtain justice. Farewell. To Zoilos: they said that Kleitos is not in residence. [verso] […] […] […] […] the price […] […] but if not on which terms […] but if not he swears, let him pay […] per jar interest of 2 drachmas, so that the difference is […] of the oath. […] of Asklepiades Year 2, Gorpiaios 17, Tybi 17, having come […] to follow up the oath […] if […] having received from Kleitos 1,100 drachmas […] metretai and Kleitos […] his Tybi 17

About this record's data
  • From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
  • AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
  • Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
  • Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
  • Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
